The Balance combines full-band performances with improvised solo piano pieces. The title, Ibrahim notes, stems from the balance that's part of those different pieces, what he calls "a balance of different narratives. For me it's always the idea of telling a story and not just playing notes. There's a variety of songs and each one has a different aspect and different narrative and different pastel colors. We reached that balance within ourselves." He adds that the gentle, atmospheric title track "was something I wrote many years ago. We played it in many different formats, but the recording that day in London was what felt like the best way to do it."

Un disco mostruoso, come molti del Master Dollar.
Thank you so much! Closed my eyes and let every note flow over and through me. Just shut out every bit of craziness we are living through right now, helping me think of the days to come when we have peace and love for each other! Take care and best of health to everyone!
Precioso disco. Lo escucho muchas veces. Mr Ibrahim me merece el máximo de los respetos como músico. Ya me impactó en los años 80 cuando lo vi en directo en Valencia (España) con su música original y tras desviar mi oído en otras cosas lo vuelvo a encontrar. Muchas gracias.

Simply Lovely..
One of my favorite musicians ever! Great photo of the maestro. It sucks that the label that actually put out the recording can't be bothered to credit the photographer here. Photographers are very poorly paid by record labels; the least they could do is give them a credit.
Good point. ECM, perhaps the most forward-looking record label of them all, always identifies graphic artists, photographers and artists who create their album covers.
makes me happy to be alive, no meme, no kek :)
Ho ascoltato Abdullah Ibrahim questa sera al concerto inaugurale di Milano Piano City. E' stata un'esperienza non soltanto musicale, grazie alla sua capacità di creare mondi poetici che parlano al di là delle distanze e delle generazioni (tanti giovani, e tutti coinvolti). Un grande piacere vedere che il jazz è vivo anche nei suoi miti, capaci di dare emozioni sempre nuove. Thank you for your music, Abdullah!
An over used word, but the man's a genius, a genius!
Brilliant!
Tack Klas Östergren för tipset!
Thanks for posting.
The King!
Perfect.....love the Mood...😎
Sensational
A better of the best and a best of the better. Truly enjoyed one of the best moments I have had.
I sit in the dark with two audio research v-140 mono/block hybrid amplifiers. And, not to forget two beautiful and aspiring speakers.
Close my eyes and my heart is lifted. Thank you.
great!!!

Well, I bought it, thanks to this stream. Cd came today. And I broke out all my old enja cassettes to listen to once again. Thanks Gearbox for reminding me during Covid of something very special.
Enja cassettes. Yow.
