Abdullah Abrahim Tue 15 Nov, Barbican
The South African pianist returns to London. Expect a mesmerising evening from a master musician. Any performance from Cape Town's jazz hero is a journey through a lifetime's experience; the musical melting pot of his upbringing (gospel and jive, American jazz and classical music, sacred and secular) and the music of his jazz heroes (Ellington and Coltrane amongst them) all skillfully embroidered by his free-flowing piano invention. People don't like Abdullah Ibrahim, they adore him, bestowing on him the devotion normally reserved for Nina Simone' - The Guardian

Nduduzo Makhathini Sun 20, Jazz Caf Nduduzo Makhathini
From growing up in the lush and rugged hills of umGungundlovu in South Africa, to touring the world as one of Blue Note's most renowned artists, Nduduzo Makhathini is one of the most talented musicians of our generation. Makhathini draws influence from the ancient tradition of the Zulu, whose warrior code is deeply reliant on music for motivation and healing, entwining such ideologies with the skills he has acquired from the legends of South African Jazz. His 2017 album Ikhambi was the first to be released on Universal Music South Africa and won Best Jazz Album at the South African Music Awards (SAMA) in 2018. His Blue Note debut, Modes of Communication: Letters from the Underworlds, was named one of the Best Jazz Albums of 2020 by The New York Times.
