	Abdullah Ibrahim - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Abdullah Ibrahim, born Adolph Johannes Brand, later known as Dollar Brand (from a popular brand of matches), is a South African pianist and composer who was born in Cape Town in 1934.
		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.

		In the first half, Abdullah Ibrahim played a solo fifty minute improvisation, drawing together the lilting rhythms of the South African townships and North American jazz interwoven with the constructions of Scottish and English hymn music.
		When, as Dollar Brand, he left South Africa in the early sixties, he was (as he remains) an outspoken opponent of apartheid.
