His music is often referred to as representing freedom. His major anti-apartheid anthem “Mannenberg” (released as “Capetown Fringe” in the US) has come to be regarded as an unofficial national anthem in South Africa. He even performed at Nelson Mandela’s inauguration, where Mandela referred to him as “our Mozart”. He’s played with everyone from Duke Ellington to Max Roach, John Coltrane to Ornette Coleman, and is the father of underground rapper Jean Grae. Encompassing Township-Jazz, solo piano, Highlife and plentiful modern jazz styles, this brand new studio album (recorded with his band Ekaya at RAK Studios in London) is a major return for a genuine living Jazz legend. “People don’t like Abdullah Ibrahim, they adore him, bestowing on him the devotion normally reserved for Nina Simone. When he plays, melodies tumble out effortlessly, as he slides from theme to theme like a laid-back South African reincarnation of Thelonious Monk.” – THE GUARDIAN “There are few musicians in jazz that can make you feel that all is right in the world like Ibrahim” – THE TIMES “Wordless expressions of freedom and defiance” – THE GUARDIAN Artist Abdullah Ibrahim Genre Jazz Label Gearbox Buying Options 180g 1LP Format 180g , 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Dreamtime Nisa Jabula Tuang Guru Tonegawa Star Dance ZB2 Skippy Devotion The Balance Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Abdullah Ibrahim and more from Jazz View Product Quick View Abdullah Ibrahim 3 Jazz | Gearbox | 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 26th January 2024 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abdullah Ibrahim 3 £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1591 Formats: 3LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 26th January 2024 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Abdullah Ibrahim Solotude Jazz | Gearbox | 1LP Released 14th January 2022 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abdullah Ibrahim Solotude £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1575 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 14th January 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Billie Holiday Lady Day Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 5th July 2010 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Billie Holiday Lady Day £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PPANCL637 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 5th July 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Archie Shepp & Jason Moran Let My People Go Jazz | ARCHIEBALL (AUTRA) | 2LP Released 1st December 2023 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Archie Shepp & Jason Moran Let My People Go £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ARCHIEBALL (AUTRA) SKU: ARCH2101LP Formats: 2LP Released Date: 1st December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jason Moran All Rise: A Joyful Elegy For Fats Waller Jazz | Universal/Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 6th November 2014 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jason Moran All Rise: A Joyful Elegy For Fats Waller £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Universal/Blue Note SKU: 3782461 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 6th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto Getz/Gilberto Jazz | Analogue Productions | SACD Released 6th May 2020 £32.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stan Getz & Joao Gilberto Getz/Gilberto £32.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: CVRJ8545SA Formats: SACD Released Date: 6th May 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson Jazz | Mobile Fidelity | SACD Released 13th January 2017 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis A Tribute To Jack Johnson £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Mobile Fidelity SKU: UDSACD2150 Formats: SACD Released Date: 13th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Sunny Ozell Overnight Lows Jazz | Chitin Records | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 28th February 2020 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Sunny Ozell Overnight Lows £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Chitin Records SKU: CHIT1LP Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 28th February 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charles Tolliver Music Inc Impact Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 9th September 2022 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charles Tolliver Music Inc Impact £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: SES-19757 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 9th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Stacey Kent Dreamsville Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 4th May 2007 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Stacey Kent Dreamsville £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: PP9775 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 4th May 2007 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Various - Volume Two Freedom Rhythm and Sound (1963-82) Jazz | Soul Jazz | 1LP Released 17th December 2009 £13.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Various - Volume Two Freedom Rhythm and Sound (1963-82) £13.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Soul Jazz SKU: SJRLP2192 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 17th December 2009 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jazzrausch Bigband téchne Jazz | ACT | 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 26th March 2021 £20.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Jazzrausch Bigband téchne £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: ACT SKU: ACTLP9923-1 Formats: 180g, 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 26th March 2021 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket See more in Jazz Start again
