• Track Listing

Cape jazz’s leading figure, Abdullah Ibrahim—still known as Dollar Brand at the time—recorded this highly influential jazz-piano album at Copenhagen’s famed Jazzhaus Montmartre. The club was jumpin’ and the sound isn’t hi-fi, but Ibrahmin’s distinctive piano style comes through loud and clear, mixing South African rhythms and perspective with echoes of Monk and Duke (his two heroes). This 1969 LP now comes to 180-gram vinyl: Sunset in Blue; Kippy; The Moon; Xaba; Tintiyana; Bra Joe from Kilimanjaro, and more! ECM.
