NUMBER OF DISCS: 3 Taken from Abdullah Ibrahim's summer 2023 sold-out headline date at London's Barbican Centre, the new album "3" follows suit and is spread across two performances - the first is recorded without an audience ahead of the concert straight to analogue on a 1" Scully tape machine, which had previously been used by Elvis at the famous Memphis-based Sun Studios. The second recording is taken from the evening's performance itself with Ibrahim performing in a unique trio which includes Cleave Guyton (flute, piccolo, saxophone) who has performed alongside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, and Joe Henderson, as well as lauded bassist and cellist Noah Jackson, both of which are members of Ekaya and featured on Ibrahim's top 3 Billboard Jazz album "The Balance". 3-LP, gatefold, 140gTracks1 Barakat2 Tsakwe3 Krotoa - Crystal Clear4 Maraba5 Ismael6 Mindif7 In a Sentimental Mood8 Giant Steps9 Reprise 110 Water from An Ancient Well11 Nisa12 The Wedding13 Tuang Guru14 Reprise 215 Dreamtime16 Skippy17 Blue Bolero18 Mindif19 Trance-Mission
