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 Babatunde And Phenomena Levels Of Conciousness Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 7th July 2022 £34.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Babatunde And Phenomena Levels Of Conciousness £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: TR107 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 7th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Evan Parker Collected Solos Jazz | Otoroku | 4LP, Box Set Released 29th January 2021 £112.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Evan Parker Collected Solos £112.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Otoroku SKU: ROKURE011 Formats: 4LP, Box Set Released Date: 29th January 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Daniele Luppi & Greg Gonzalez Charm of Pleasure Jazz | Verve | 1LP Released 16th September 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Daniele Luppi & Greg Gonzalez Charm of Pleasure £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Verve SKU: 4457488 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 16th September 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Alain Goraguer La Planète Sauvage Jazz | DECCA(UMO) | 2LP Released 22nd September 2023 £42.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Alain Goraguer La Planète Sauvage £42.00 Genre: Jazz Label: DECCA(UMO) SKU: 0924632 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Grachan Moncur III Evolution (Classic Vinyl Series) Jazz | Blue Note | 180g, 1LP Released 18th November 2022 £22.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Grachan Moncur III Evolution (Classic Vinyl Series) £22.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 4535335 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 18th November 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra Consummation Jazz | Pure Pleasure | 180g, 1LP Released 22nd February 2012 £34.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Thad Jones/Mel Lewis Orchestra Consummation £34.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Pure Pleasure SKU: BST84346 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 22nd February 2012 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk Jazz | Rhino Atlantic | 180g, 2LP Released 20th May 2022 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers Jazz Messengers with Thelonious Monk £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Rhino Atlantic SKU: 0603497842391 Formats: 180g, 2LP Released Date: 20th May 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat (1Step 3LP Box Set) Jazz | Impex Records | 180g, 3LP, Box Set Released 22nd December 2023 £200.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Jennifer Warnes Famous Blue Raincoat (1Step 3LP Box Set) £200.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Impex Records SKU: IMXLPO6033-45 Formats: 180g, 3LP, Box Set Released Date: 22nd December 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Herbie Hancock Inventions and Dimensions Jazz | Blue Note | 1LP Released 11th October 2019 £24.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Herbie Hancock Inventions and Dimensions £24.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note SKU: 802772 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 11th October 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Jazz Start again
