ProgramRabble Without A Cause: Abdullah Ibrahim Part 1
Hosted ByAlnoor Allidina
DateMar. 17th, 2010
Alnoor Allidina has been listening to a lot of Abdullah Ibrahim lately. Tonight he presents the first part in a 2-part series on this wonderful South African pianist. Ibrahim has great jazz credentials: he was "discovered" in Zurich by Duke Ellington in the early sixites, when he was still performing as Dollar Brand. Of course, at this point Ibrahim's career was already over a decade old. In tonight's program we will hear from a variety of his many albums, focusing on jazz tunes and some of his more outside playing. Part two airs Sunday afternoon on This Island Earth (1-4pm EDT) and features tunes clearly influenced by his South African upbringing.
