| Review by David Gary Roberts (Amazon) An (almost) solo live gig recorded in a Scandinavian jazz club accompanied by much loud eating, drinking and conversation. It's hard to believe that anyone with a working set of ears would not be completely transfixed by this intense and committed performance - my meatballs would have certainly remained untouched until the last note had faded away. Thankfully, the background noise does not interfere with the listeners enjoyment. I first heard this record 20 years ago and even though I spent several of those years without a copy, the indelible impression left by this blend of South African folk melodies and modern jazz sensibility bound together with a constant muscular, supple rhythmic pulse and an almost tangible spiritual sincerity, has kept it as one of my most beloved of all albums. A "must buy" for any Dollar Brand fan, along with "Good News From Africa", the excellent album of duets with bass player (and fellow South African) Johnny Dyani. |

| Review by Dr. Spengler (Jazz Donkey) The AMG review makes me suspect Mr Yanow actually never really listened to this album. IMHO 'African Piano' is still one of Abdullah Ibrahim's finest solo recordings. Honestly, the Amazon review hits the nail on the head! |
Tracks:
1. Bra Joe From Kilamanjaro
2. Selby That The Eternal Spirit Is The Only Reality
3. The Moon
4. Xaba
5. Sunset In Blue
6. Kippy
7. Jabulani - Easter Joy
8. Tintiyana
Enjoy!
Greetings
Doc
