Taken from his summer 2023 sold-out headline date at London’s Barbican Centre, the new album “3” follows suit and is spread across two performances – the first is recorded without an audience recorded ahead of the concert straight to analogue on a 1″ Scully tape machine, which had previously been used by Elvis at the famous Memphis-based Sun Studios. The second recording is taken from the evening’s performance itself with Ibrahim performing in a unique trio which includes Cleave Guyton (flute, piccolo, saxophone) who has performed alongside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, and Joe Henderson, as well as lauded bassist and cellist Noah Jackson, both of which are members of Ekaya and featured on Ibrahim’s top 3 Billboard Jazz album “The Balance”. The recordings feature a number of special new tracks and moving arrangements influenced by the music of Ibrahim’s upbringing (gospel and jive, American jazz and classical music, sacred and secular), and arrangements of tracks by his friends and heroes such as Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, all interwoven by his fluidic and ebullient playing style. The recording also features spellbinding vocal performances from Ibrahim creating a powerful, pin-drop moment with heartbreaking songs about the pain of slavery sung in both an indigenous language and English. The whole thing is accentuated by the lack of percussion which highlights both the more poignant moments as well as the more energetic moments. Abdullah Ibrahim (who has also recorded as Dollar Brand) is one of South Africa’s most famous musicians. Born under the apartheid regime, where jazz music was seen as an act of resistance, 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, and 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. Abdullah Ibrahim was also recently awarded “The Order of the Rising Sun” by Japan’s government – one of the country’s top honours. Abdullah was one of several foreign recipients of the 2020 Spring Imperial awards conferred by His Majesty, the Emperor of Japan. The award was being given to Abdullah in recognition of his lifetime achievement in emancipating the people of South Africa and the world through his music, as well as his contribution to Japan-South African friendship through his works, performances and profound understanding of Japanese culture and spirituality. This is something that is exemplified perfectly in Ibrahim’s ongoing project at his 800-hectare farm in the Green Kalahari. The project engages the local community and neighbouring Botswana and Namibia, focusing on music, movement, medicine, meditation and Satoyama-biodiversity – the Japanese cosmology of conservation and creating a harmonious co-existence between humans and nature. Recently speaking toArts24, Ibrahim says, “The idea is that we incorporate all of this. I call it Satoyama Africa which is this biodiversity with music, astrophysics, and farm produce. For young people, the idea is to come there and engage in this. And for young musicians for example, composing in this dynamic. We have the ancient earth, and we have our sights beyond the milky way.” This release is comprised of: Volume 1 – Direct to Tape Volume 2 – Live at The Barbican Parts 1 & 2 Artist Abdullah Ibrahim Genre Jazz Label Gearbox Buying Options 3LP Gatefold Sleeve Format 3LP , Gatefold Sleeve Condition New Country UK Track Listings Barakat Tsakwe Krotoa - Crystal Clear Maraba Ishmael Mindif In a Sentimental Mood Giant Steps Reprise 1 Water from an Ancient Well Nisa The Wedding Tuang Guru Reprise 2 Dreamtime Skippy Blue Bolero Mindif Trance-mission Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Abdullah Ibrahim and more from Jazz 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 Abdullah Ibrahim The Balance Jazz | Gearbox | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd April 2021 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Abdullah Ibrahim The Balance £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1554OBI Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd April 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Parker In Sweden 1950 Jazz | Storyville | 180g, 1LP Released 23rd November 2018 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parker In Sweden 1950 £19.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Storyville SKU: LP6017006 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 23rd November 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk Quartet Monk’s Dream Jazz | CBS Jazz Masterpieces | 1LP Released 2nd April 2024 £10.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Thelonious Monk Quartet Monk’s Dream £10.00 Genre: Jazz Label: CBS Jazz Masterpieces SKU: nn283761 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 2nd April 2024 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Dizzy Gillespie Reunion Big Band Live In Berlin Jazz Club Jazz | MPS | 180g, 1LP Released 31st October 2016 £35.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Dizzy Gillespie Reunion Big Band Live In Berlin Jazz Club £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: MPS SKU: 0211546MSW Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st October 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Zorn Naked City Jazz | 1972 | 2LP Released 9th June 2018 £28.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Zorn Naked City £28.00 Genre: Jazz Label: 1972 SKU: IF34 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 9th June 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Binker And Moses Journey To The Mountain Of Forever Jazz | Gearbox | 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 2nd June 2017 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Binker And Moses Journey To The Mountain Of Forever £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Gearbox SKU: GB1537 Formats: 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 2nd June 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Aaron Parks Invisible Cinema (Classic Vinyl) Jazz | Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note | 180g, 2LP Released 21st June 2024 £35.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Aaron Parks Invisible Cinema (Classic Vinyl) £35.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) / Jazz / Blue Note SKU: 5832038 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 21st June 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Michel Legrand Legrand Jazz Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 14th August 2020 £75.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Michel Legrand Legrand Jazz £75.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: AIMX6030-45 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 14th August 2020 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Miles Davis Miles Ahead OST Jazz | Sony | 2LP Released 14th October 2019 £18.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Miles Davis Miles Ahead OST £18.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Sony SKU: 0889853066810 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th October 2019 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Tony Williams Lifetime Feat.
