Saxophonist Olaf Boelsen is back in Germany after a 10-year stay in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia
and brings a wealth of EthioJazz experience with him.
With his duo Jazzmaris, he and Cologne violinist Conrad Kausch present Ethiopian sound at its finest:
Pieces by Mulatu Astatke, the godfather of EthioJazz, songs by singers Mahmoud Ahmed, Telahun Gessesse and Girma Beyene plus his own compositions.
As a duo, the musicians develop a sensitive to expansive EthioJazz that combines Ethiopian sounds with improvisation.
The band name Jazzmaris is a combination of jazz and "Asmaris", the name of the traditional musicians from Ethiopia. These musicians are a lively part of the music scene in Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and collaborate with the local jazz scene in a variety of projects.
