 | | Description: | â??Solotudeâ?? ist das neue Solo-Piano-Album des sĂĽdafrikanischen Pianisten Abdullah Ibrahim.
â??Solotudeâ?? wurde an Ibrahims Geburtstag im Oktober 2021 im Hirzinger Saal in Riedering
aufgenommen, wo er traditionell sein Geburtstagskonzert gibt. Der in Deutschland fĂĽr seine
Akustik berĂĽhmte Saal passt perfekt zur Stimmung des Albums, das warm, zeitlos und einsam
zugleich ist. Die Musik umfasst zeitlose Klassiker wie â??Blues for a Hip Kingâ?? und â??The Weddingâ??,
selten aufgenommene StĂĽcke wie â??Tokaiâ?? sowie neue wie â??Once Upon A Midnightâ??, â??In The
Eveningâ?? und â??Signal On A Hillâ??. Die anhaltende Reinheit und Ehrlichkeit von Ibrahims Anschlag
und die emotionsgeladene Simplizität seiner Kompositionen zeigen, dass selbst in der Dunkelheit
Hoffnung durchscheint. Mit 86 Jahren und selbst während einer Pandemie zeigt der immer aktive
und einfallsreiche Ibrahim keine Anzeichen dafür, jemals Aufzuhören. - JAPANESE EDITION"Solotude" is an intimate solo piano album on CD by the legendary South African pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim, released by Gearbox Records. Captured in a pure, unadorned setting, the recording focuses entirely on Ibrahim's characteristic blend of meditative lyricism, spacious harmonies and subtle rhythmic shifts. The music unfolds like a quiet conversation: reflective, often spiritual in tone, and rooted in the melodic sensibilities and gentle swing that have defined his work for decades. Each piece flows organically into the next, creating a continuous listening experience that invites concentration, calm and repeated listening. This CD edition emphasizes sound quality and fidelity, making it ideal for listeners who want to experience the nuances of Ibrahim's touch and phrasing in a dedicated home-listening environment.
Abdullah Ibrahim is one of the most important figures in modern jazz with South African roots, known for his unique synthesis of African melodies, gospel colours, classical influences and American jazz language. Over the course of his long career, he has become internationally recognized through compositions such as "Mannenberg" and "The Wedding" and through collaborations with leading musicians and bands. His music has been performed on major stages worldwide, and he is celebrated for his ability to combine political awareness, spiritual depth and melodic clarity in a highly personal style. "Solotude" showcases him in one of his strongest formats: alone at the piano, where his sense of space and timing can fully unfold.
