Abdullah Ibrahim - Cape Town Flower (1999)

Starts with another track but leads into this masterwork. I think this was the Lugano Jazz Festival in 1999.

From my old VHS...

Could you post the whole concert?

I discover Abdullah en Gasteiz festival the same year, which I have the VHS, but I lost it and would like to have some record of that amazing tour!

@GRANPOLLAZO14 this is all I have. It was on a best of 1999 special along with the Mehldau concert I uploaded

Uhm...I think the "Lugano Jazz festival" backdrop behind the musicians gives it away really!.....Wish I'd been there !

@clevermedia just caught the comment, I said I think because Estival I think is a little concert away from Lugano usually held a few days before... but yep that sure looks like Lugano

By the way the bridge between the two songs is Maraba Blue, all of 20 seconds from 2.21.

Thanks anyway. Its a pitty. I had the whole concert recorded. It was 90 minuutes of plain delicious music. I think, this trio is the best of Abdullah´s ensembles. Well, maybe the person who had my old video tape reads this. If so, please, put it on youtube!

Cheers
