Addis Jazz Nights: Amber Sessions

Amber Sessions returns for a single night of Ethio-jazz built around long, unhurried improvisations. The evening opens with a trio led by pianist Mahlet Girma, before the full eight-piece ensemble takes the stage for a set that moves from smoky ballads to brass-heavy grooves.

Doors open at 7:00 PM for food and vinyl in the courtyard. The main room is standing-room only, with a limited balcony reserved for VIP ticket holders. This is a listening crowd — phones down, drinks slow.

The Hive is a five-minute walk from Kazanchis and rideshare drop-off is available on the north side of the venue.
