wonderful, but not as Yanow describes

slidewell

This is not an entirely solo recording, as mentioned in the All Music Guide review. Beautiful, contemplative playing as always from Ibrahim, with a few upbeat themes as well as vocals(!) Which I will forgive him the indulgence. :) For those of you who have many of his recordings, this one has elements that you will find different and rewarding.

After decades of self-exile, pianist/composer/bandleader Abdullah Ibrahim finally had an opportunity to return to his native South Africa in the early 1990s. This solo CD was recorded at Cape Town and has seven of his themes, all of which reflect his heritage; in addition, Ibrahim performs Thelonious Monk’s “Ask Me Now.” An excellent effort that must have been an emotional experience for the unique and masterful Abdullah Ibrahim. – Scott Yanow
