Blues For A Hip King (1989)

Opnamen uit 1974, 1976 en 1979. "South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim's (ook bekend als Dollar Brand) effervescent sound is immediately recognizable. It is steeped in the folk traditions of his homeland -- from township folk and A.M.E. gospel to Indian raga -- and is wed to the elegant compositional flair of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk's canny notions of harmony and rhythm, improvisation, and classical technical proficiency. He is the most distinguished -- and prolific -- jazzman in South Africa's history." (Allmusic).
