5 out of 5 stars haunting and astute in all the right ways.......2006-11-21

Tigist is stunning. Her music is moving, entrancing and nicely spooky.
This record has the traditional Ethiopian pace and timing with the strength
of a classically trained virtuoso.
She makes your mind wander into hidden places.

4 out of 5 stars Pentatonic pleasures.......2004-09-21

Ethiopia has one of the more intriguing indigenous piano traditions in the world. Ethiopian jazz piano playing has been heard in an ensemble context on cds in the fine Ethiopiques series. But this may be the first recording of Ethiopian songs for solo piano to be widely distributed (outside of the Ethiopian community) in the US. And it's a lovely recording, by a talented young player currently living in the US.
