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 Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 2nd November 2005 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Charles Mingus Presents Charles Mingus £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: CJS9005 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 2nd November 2005 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Ronnie Foster Two-Headed Freap (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 20th May 2022 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ronnie Foster Two-Headed Freap (Classic Vinyl Series) £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4535203 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 20th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Parker Now’s The Time: The Genius of Charlie Parker Jazz | Decca (UMO) [GB] | Jazz | Verve | 180g, 1LP Released 8th December 2023 £33.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parker Now’s The Time: The Genius of Charlie Parker £33.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca (UMO) [GB] | Jazz | Verve SKU: 5595715 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 8th December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Roy Ayers Daddy Bug Jazz | Atlantic | Miscellaneous Released 19th February 2010 £12.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Roy Ayers Daddy Bug £12.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Atlantic SKU: 1538 Formats: Miscellaneous Released Date: 19th February 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Bird And Diz Jazz | Impulse | 1LP Released 20th September 2019 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Bird And Diz £21.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impulse SKU: 7727182 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 20th September 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Herbie Hancock Man Child Jazz | Speakers Corner | 180g, 1LP Released 29th April 2013 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Herbie Hancock Man Child £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Speakers Corner SKU: PC33812 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 29th April 2013 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington The Great Reunion Jazz | Stateside | 180g, 1LP Released 1st August 2016 £16.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington The Great Reunion £16.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Stateside SKU: 0190295961398 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 1st August 2016 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Joey Alexander Warna Jazz | Decca | 2LP Released 31st January 2020 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joey Alexander Warna £20.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Decca SKU: 848840 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 31st January 2020 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ayako Hosokawa To Mr. Wonderful Jazz | Craftman | 180g, 1LP Released 7th April 2023 £54.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Ayako Hosokawa To Mr. Wonderful £54.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Craftman SKU: CMRSLPI149 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th April 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Thelonious Monk 5 by Monk by 5 Jazz | Analogue Productions | 180g, 1LP Released 31st May 2024 £47.00 Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders Thelonious Monk 5 by Monk by 5 £47.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions SKU: AAPJ 1150 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 31st May 2024 Read More Pre Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
