Abdullah Ibrahim: Solo & Mukashi Trio<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

A South Africa Event on 2016-04-29 19:30:00<\/i><\/p>\n

at SFJAZZ Center, Miner Auditorium <\/p>\n

Along with one-time bandmate Hugh Masekela, pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim<\/strong> remains one of the greatest jazz artists to emerge from South Africa. Championed by Duke Ellington in the early 1960s, Ibrahim has recorded over 50 albums that mix traditional African music, classical music, gospel and modern jazz. Since his beginnings as a member of the Jazz Epistles in the early 1960s, one of the first jazz bands in South Africa and certainly the first to record an album, Ibrahim has forged a singular path as an musician, recording and performing as a soloist and bandleader as well as a collaborator with the likes of Max Roach, Elvin Jones, Don Cherry and Gato Barbieri. These rare Bay Area appearances present the pianist in a solo setting that reveals the depths of his genius, as well as one of the maestro\u2019s newest and most stimulating ensembles \u2013 his Japanese-inspired Mukashi<\/strong> trio featuring a lineup of Ibrahim\u2019s piano, winds and cello. With a name translating from Japanese as \u201conce upon a time,\u201d the group is designed to tell stories, and as their new self-titled Sunnyside album demonstrates, no one tells a tale through music like Abdullah Ibrahim.<\/p>\n
