Blue Bolero
Artist: Abdullah Ibrahim
Songwriter(s): Abdullah Ibrahim
Genre: Solo Jazz / Contemporary Jazz
Album: Solotude (2021)
Solotude was recorded on Abdullah Ibrahim’s birthday in October 2021, in the Hirzinger Hall of Riedering, renowned for its exceptional acoustics. The album radiates warmth, timelessness, and introspective solitude.
It features beloved classics like Blues For A Hip King and The Wedding, alongside rarely performed pieces such as Tokai and new compositions including Once Upon A Midnight and Signal On A Hill. The title Solotude beautifully captures both the solitary nature of the performance and the intimate connection between the pianist and his audience—even in an empty hall.
“Blue Bolero unfolds with a hypnotic, meditative pulse, showcasing Ibrahim’s masterful ability to transform a rhythmic motif into a deeply intimate solo reflection.”
