Album Notes & Community Reviews

Championed heavily by Duke Ellington who secured their recording contract, the Dollar Brand Trio (led by Abdullah Ibrahim) offers a uniquely transnational approach to cool jazz. The album infuses the angular, percussive aesthetics of American modern jazz with the distinct rhythmic inflections of the pianist's South African heritage.
