	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.
		The Dollar Brand Trio (with Johnny Gertze on bass and Makaya Ntshoko on drums) subsequently played at many European festivals, as well as on radio and television.
		A short attempt to return to South Africa in the mid-1970s after his conversion to Islam (and the resultant change of name from Dollar Brand to Abdullah Ibrahim) saw him return to New York in 1976, as he found the political conditions too oppressive.

		Brands may be the most misunderstood and poorly managed corporate asset today.
		While each troubled brand has its unique story, the common theme that unites them is misinvestment––the failure to invest wisely for a short-term price or volume premium and long-term growth of brand equity.
		The project included assessing brand strengths and vulnerabilities, conducting root cause analyses to understand sources of brand dilution, and developing a specific action plan to address brand weaknesses.

		When pianist and composer Dollar Brand (born Adolph Johannes Brand in 1934, and later called Abdullah Ibrahim) recorded with the Jazz Epistles for South Africa's Gallo label in 1960, it was a harbinger of fl musical and political development which would take much longer to secure roots in that nation's racist climate.
		Thloloe states that "Dollar Brand plays electric piano for the first time on a record on the title tune," a perhaps dubious claim, and notes that the leader doubles on soprano sax.
		Brand trades passages artfully with the horns and Gumede's bass, and tenor and trumpet solo brightly and brilliantly, the latter reminiscent of the sound of Hugh Masekela, Brand's former Epistle.
