Mergia, Hailu

Pioneer Works Swing (live)

It's been a little over ten years since Hailu Mergia reemerged on the international music scene. Following the first in a series of his classic recordings reissued in collaboration with Awesome Tapes From Africa, Mergia assembled a band and began performing live again after many years driving a cab in Washington, DC. Here is a recorded document of the keyboard player's powerful trio featuring Kenneth Joseph on drums and Alemseged Kebede on bass. Captured at Pioneer Works on July 1, 2016, the concert has been mixed by Ted Young with mastered by Jessica Thompson.
