Abdullah Ibrahim - Water From An Ancient Well

Mid-price reissue of iconic album 'Water from an Ancient Well' by South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim that was first released in 1986. The album was included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. 'Water From An Ancient Well' features the pianist/composer with a very strong septet, including tenor saxophonist Ricky Ford, altoist Carlos Ward, baritonist Charles Davis, and trombonist Dick Griffin, who are heard at their most creative and emotional on these eight Ibrahim originals. Many of the melodies (particularly Mandela, Song for Sathima, Water From an Ancient Well, and the beautiful The Wedding) are among Ibrahim's finest compositions.
