After New Year's dinner, I joined my coworker M to Bole Rock, a local jazz club on the east side of town. The saxophone player from last Wednesday's show is the headman for this group. We sat in the front near the stage, where I got an excellent view. It was great to watch these guys jam and improvise, and on a few songs include the Ethiopian five-note scales as well. Strange that I grew up in a city so well renown for jazz, but have finally gained an appreciation for the vitality of live jazz here in Addis Ababa.
