In 2009, Brian Cross (aka B+) curated a remarkable series of live performances at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex in Los Angeles, showcasing the profound influence of artists like Ethiopia’s Mulatu Astatke. This collection, titled Mochilla Presents Timeless: Mulatu Astatke, features unforgettable live concert recordings on vinyl that highlight the dynamic collaboration between Astatke and renowned jazz musicians from Los Angeles, including Bennie Maupin and Azar Lawrence.
The sold-out crowd was treated to a mesmerizing performance that included a tribute to the legendary James “Dilla” Yancey. Now, these high-quality recordings are back for RSD 2021 after being long out of print. This limited edition release is capped at just 2,000 copies, making it a must-have for collectors of the best jazz LPs.
