Abdullah Ibrahim and Carlos Ward - Live at Sweet Basil

Here's another follow-up to an earlier post. A while ago we posted a set of these two gentlemen recorded at Kalisz in Poland in December 1984. Fourteen months prior to the concert in Poland, they recorded this set at the Sweet Basil in New York in October 1983. The promised Vol. 2 has never appeared.

Abdullah Ibrahim with Carlos Ward
Live at Sweet Basil Vol.1, Ekapa 004

A1 The Dream
A2 And Find Me A Shelter In The Storm
A3 Mummy
A4 For Coltrane I / For Coltrane II / New York City

B1 Anthem For The New Nation
B2 Gwangwa
B3 Theme From "King Kong"
B4 Black Lightning
B5 Gwizda
B6 The Stride
B7 Soweto

As with the former posting, this is lyrical, melodious, beautiful, tasteful; whatever adjective you want to apply to this set. As pieces pretty much run together, sides A and B are ripped as two separate files.

Thanks to Robert aka amnesia for supplying these sides.

Abdullah Ibrahim and Carlos Ward live in Kalisz, Poland

Here's an item that has been lying around for ages, displaced and retrieved, so apologies to "amnesia" for not getting to this much earlier. And it dovetails nicely with some earlier postings of Ibrahim.

Here's an introduction from "amnesia" on the background of this record:

The duo of pianist Abdullah Ibrahim and saxophonist/flautist Carlos Ward captured in a rare lp only release from the Polish label Poljazz (PSJ149). Recorded in Kalisz, Poland in December 1984 fourteen months after their Ekapa (not Ekaya!) label recording made at Sweet Basil, New York. Although footage of the concert is available on youtube the Poljazz recording has had limited availability. Unfortunately, the recording and pressing leave something to be desired - Abdullah Ibrahim seems to express his frustration with an audience member or possibly a cameraman around 6 minutes. The sleeve note erroneously attributes Carlos Ward with playing tenor rather than alto. The track listing as given for the continuous performance spread over two sides is reproduced below but I am unsure about its accuracy. Despite these quibbles, an important addition to the Abdullah Ibrahim catalogue which hopefully will intrigue and please his many admirers.

Side A

Thabu Bosiu
The Wedding
For Monk

Side B

Chelsea Bridge
A Flower Is A Lovesome Thing
In A Sentimental Mood
Sotmo Blue
Thaba Bosiu

Apparently, Ibrahim never gave permission to release the LP of this concert but rather to press a few items to be given as gifts to the members of the Polish jazz society. He got very angry when he found out that it was distributed outside of Poland. So in his eyes this LP was (and still is) a bootleg. (source: interview in the early 90s).

Be that as it may, but to these ears, the quality of the music on display here is good enough to warrant a proper release. Lyrical, tasteful and with beautiful interventions from Ward throughout.

"Amnesia", keep them coming and I promise to be quicker next time!

Abdullah Ibrahim-(featuring,D.Cherry, J.Tchicai, B.Phillips,G.Barbieri)3-8-1968 Hamburg- Mono SBD

For those who have requested and are enjoying the wealth of fabulous South African music posts lately, here's another Epic Show from Hamburg .

Not Much provenance on this one, which purports to be a soundboard, beautiful music though.

And Certainly some of Ibrahim's most challenging music!

There seems to be no information about this concert online anywhere , its not even mentioned in Kassman's list of unofficial D.Cherry recordings.

"Hamba Khale" and the "aloe and the wild rose" also appeared on the Barbieri, Ibrahim collaboration 'confluence' ( freedom lp 28-467-9-u)from the same year, the reccuring tracks are almost precisely the same length's as the lp versions and coincidentally also in Mono.

Jabulani is a Beautiful John Tchicai, tune which first officially appeared on Roswell Rudd's self titled lp (AM 6114) and was frequently performed in concert by the original New York Art Quartet.

Heres a link to Ibrahim's Website for biographical info, and a line on his many available recordings.
