I think this performance hit the sweet spot in jazz for my wife and me. We felt a consistent connection to what was being played. Mr. Ibrahim, Ekaya, and Ravi Coltrane were all excellent. It was a lovely experience.LloydGChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10608690121354037925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-62118163553532630162018-04-21T18:48:57.204-04:002018-04-21T18:48:57.204-04:00A great night of jazz.

I know it saddened him that his comrade, Hugh Masekela, wasn't able to share the stage -- his passing was a deep loss. I swear I heard him quote Masekela's goldminer's lament.<br /><br />After his African Symphony (2002) and series of concerts performing with symphonic orchestras, Ibrahim has returned to his township jazz roots with a terrific band -- mostly from Brooklyn. The bandmaster, on flute, piccolo (!) and alto sax, lives a couple of blocks from BAM, and guest stars Freddie Hendrixs and Ravi Coltrane are also in the boro. So what was so joyous was a blend of the Grand Master's mesmerizing 20th C township jazz with the very 21st C Brooklyn retro bebop and sometimes Miles Davis-inspired blues. From start to finish, a perfect jazz set.<br />Thank you, BAM!Lauriehttp://www.lauriegarrett.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1658202452707400073.post-54510369080927889732018-04-20T12:50:33.419-04:002018-04-20T12:50:33.419-04:00Wonderful concert.

The sound in the hall is excellent - from the back of the orchestra section every instrument could be heard clearly and appreciated. A great night!
