Arr.Mohrs Vera. Par IBRAHIM ABDULLAH. Présenter Abdullah Ibrahim comme un musicien intéressé par le jazz reviendrait à porter de l' eau à la rivière. Le célèbre pianiste de jazz et compositeur sud-africain, aussi connu sous le nom de ' Dollar Brand ', fait partie des plus grands jazzmen du XXe siècle. En 2011, il compose le cycle African Songs pour piano (Schott ED 20876) et capture alors l' atmosphère unique et l' enjouement de la musique africaine. African Song (Nr. 8) est ici arrangée pour clarinette en Si bémol et piano et est une pièce de concert bien particulière : des rythmes et des mélodies palpitants et exaltants invitent l' interprète à expérimenter./ Recueil / Clarinette en Sib et Piano

The golden age of African fingerpicking guitar was in the 1950s and 1960s. The great players and recording artists of that time included Jean Bosco Mwenda and Losta Abelo from Zaire and George Mukabi from Kenya. Guitaristsfrom other parts of the world have rarely if ever had a chance to learn their songs and playing techniques. On this DVD their arrangements are taught by John Low who has lived worked and studied with African musicians includingthose mentioned above. There are some interesting links with American guitar styles but there are just as many differences including rhythms borrowed from traditional African music and catchy up-beat patterns. Africanfingerstyle guitar is usually accompanied by rhythms played on a bottle. John Low is accompanied on this DVD by Frans Maathuis and Keith Jackman on bottles.
