Reissue of South African pianist Abdullah Ibrahim’s classic 1986 LP Water From An Ancient Well on magenta coloured vinyl. It features the pianist/composer with a very strong septet, including such superior musicians as 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 songs (particularly “Mandela,” “Song for Sathima,” “Water From an Ancient Well,” and the beautiful “The Wedding”) are among Abdullah Ibrahim’s finest compositions. The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.
