ABDULLAH IBRAHIM - Ekaya (Home) (1984/1986 Ekapa/BlackHawk Records)
ABDULLAH IBRAHIM passed on a couple of days ago at the age of 92 - he was definitely among the greats and clearly one of my favourites in recent years! He released countless albums with incredible forward thinking music since the 60s ... always heartfelt, emotional, joyful, gentle and always genuine combining jazz with his South African musical roots! And "Ekaya" is no exception here, recorded in 1983 with an impressice cast of musicians next to him on piano: CARLOS WARD on alto sax and flute, RICKY FORD on tenor, CHARLES DAVIS on baritone, DICK GRIFFIN on trombone, CECIL MCBEE on bass and BEN RILEY on drums! R.I.P. Maestro! ❣️
