●We've lost another jazz great. Abdullah Ibrahim (1934–2026) was a South African pianist and composer whose music fused bebop, blues, and African polyrhythms.
He was deeply influenced by Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, township jazz, and apartheid. This is from a compilation album of studio sessions, and that's him on soprano sax as well. RIP
