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 Lyn Stanley London With A Twist: Live At Bernie’s Jazz | A T Music | 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released 31st July 2021 £158.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lyn Stanley London With A Twist: Live At Bernie’s £158.00 Genre: Jazz Label: A T Music SKU: ATM3018 Formats: 180g, 2LP, 45rpm Released Date: 31st July 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Miles Davis Quintet Steamin’ Jazz | Analogue Productions (Prestige) | 180g, 1LP Released 13th May 2014 £45.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Miles Davis Quintet Steamin’ £45.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Analogue Productions (Prestige) SKU: APRJ7200 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th May 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Gil Evans New Bottle Old Wine Jazz | Blue Note Tone Poet | 180g, 1LP Released 14th June 2019 £36.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Gil Evans New Bottle Old Wine £36.00 Genre: Jazz Label: Blue Note Tone Poet SKU: 7728089 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 14th June 2019 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Cal Tjader Catch The Groove.
