Supreme Being: Dollar Brand, aka Abdullah Ibrahim.

Tintinyana (African Piano 1969).
Bra Joe from Kilimanjaro.
The Moon.

The great South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim, a keyboard giant, is here featured. Though his work reflects the gospel and traditional works of his ancestral home, as well as that of jazz legends Thelonious Monk and Duke Ellington, he is much more than their sum. Ibrahim is a master of improvisational high-wire acts that leave the listener spellbound. His is a unique, powerful, mesmeric musical vision.
