Abdullah Ibrahim (born 1934, Cape Town, South Africa), formerly known as Adolph Johannes Brand, and as Dollar Brand (from a popular brand of cigarettes), is a South African pianist and composer. His music reflects many of the musical influences of his childhood in the multicultural port areas of Cape Town, ranging from traditional African songs to the gospel of the AME Church and ragas, to more modern jazz and other Western styles.

Photograph: Roberta Parkin/Redferns. Mellers chose a fitting place to air such a provocative opinion: the liner notes of a jazz album by South African pianist and composer Abdullah Ibrahim. Ibrahim, who recorded both unaccompanied and with his own trio under Duke Ellington's wing in the previous decade, began to compose his most enduring themes and perform all over the world.
