Free Music Review: Intimate mastery
Hit: 4 Stars
Recorded live in 1995 at the Sweet Basil in NYC, this disc & performance captures a relaxed, masterful Ibrahim playing a collection of his most "popular" tunes with Marcus McLaurine on bass & George Johnson on drums. The whole set reeks of quiet intimacy, with relaxed, subtle & intricate playing. The whole ensemble is excellent, both individually & collectively & Johnson's occasional skittering (yet never frantic) drum & cymbal work is a particular highlight. What partly makes Ibrahim essential listening is his ability to seamlessly integrate rhythms from his native Africa with western bebop traditions & Middle eastern modes. This helps explain why you can never predict exactly what chord or phrasing will follow the wonderful spaces he leaves in his playing. Highlights are the opener Nisa, the evergreeen Cherry Mannenburg & the closer Barakaat ('Blessings") although it's a pity African Marketplace is not played in full. Nevertheless, thoroughly recommended, particularly those wondering how best to start an Ibrahim collection.
