	Abdullah Ibrahim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abdullah Ibrahim (born 1934, Cape Town, South Africa), formerly known as Adolph Johannes Brand, and as Dollar Brand (from a popular brand of cigarettes), is a South African pianist and composer.
		Abdullah Ibrahim is a towering figure in South African music, an artist who brings together all its traditions with a deeply felt understanding of American jazz, from the orchestral richness of Duke Ellington's compositions for big band to the groundbreaking innovations of Ornette Coleman and the 1960s avant-garde.
		Ibrahim has worked as a solo performer, typically in mesmerising unbroken concerts that echo the unstoppable impetus of the old marabi performers.

	CD Review of Abdullah Ibrahim - African Magic on Enja / Justin Time @ jazzreview.com
		For the occasion of the last Jazz Across Border Festival in Berlin in 2001, Abdullah Ibrahim chose to present not so much a concert of previously written music that he interprets as much as scenes from his life that he brings to life on piano.
		Even though Ibrahim could, if he so chose, play with ever-rising intensity and complexity, he instead decides to simplify his music as he creates songs to which his audience could instantaneously relate.
		Rather than presenting a concert that follows a pre-determined song list, Ibrahim developed the tunes for the Berlin concert organically so that one number flows into the other, as a mood or an alteration of a rhythm arises from the preceding tune.
