Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Ararat Valley Jazz Orchestra - A Mixtape

Overview

Aquarium Drunkard Presents: Ararat Valley Jazz Orchestra - A Mixtape --- 2019-10-03

Jazz-funk and big band rarities from the Soviet Socialist Republic of Armenia from the 1970s and 1980s; tracks recorded in Yerevan, Soviet Armenia and Moscow, USSR. Armenia has been without the symbolic mountains of Ararat and Sis since the latter stages of the Armenian Genocide and during the inception of the Armenian SSR … think of these records as “the sound of Armenia on the other side of Ararat." - Aquarium Drunkard
