Abdullah Ibrahim in concert
13 November 2006 Abdullah Ibrahim in concert Queen Elizabeth Hall/London Jazz Festival A jazz legend of global stature, pianist Abdullah Ibrahim is a charismatic symbol of the rich South African jazz heritage and an instrumentalist whose solo performances create a hypnotic, spiritual atmosphere infused with his belief in Islam. From luminous gospel-like anthems to rhythmic vamps, his music is accessible and compelling—rich with complex harmonies and a steely mysticism. “When he plays melodies tumble out effortlessly. It’s the musical equivalent of a great raconteur telling you about his life”, The Guardian. A rare opportunity to hear one of the world’s greatest musicians for a unique solo acoustic concert which is part of the London Jazz Festival, as well as the Festival of Muslim Cultures.
