Abdullah Ibrahim - The Song Is My Story - [Vinyl]

The charismatic Abdullah Ibrahim is South Africa's most distinguished pianist and a world-respected master musician. He released the solo piano album 'The Song is My Story' - which is now available on 180g vinyl (limited to 1,000 copies worldwide, gatefold sleeve) - to celebrate his 80th birthday. 2014 also marked 20 years since the end of apartheid. Abdullah Ibrahim visited Sacile, Italy in the summer of 2014, played on the legendary "Fazioli" grand piano and visited the workshop where these pianos are crafted. There is a concert hall in Sacile with fantastic instruments, which sound as if they were created especially for Ibrahim. He recorded this album there, a mixture of free improvisations and performances of his classic compositions such as a "For Coltrane" and "African Dawn".Personnel: Abdullah Ibrahim (piano)
