Abdullah Ibrahim - The Balance (2019)

Yeah, I saw that, LOL! Surprise indeed. Nice few minutes of him and his group playing. He's a very sharp dresser, BTW. I actually agree right down the line with this. There's a lot of good music on his albums, but sometimes you get the image of the starship Enterprise blasting across the screen of an old 15-inch B&W tv; I'm definitely talking TOS here, not that gussied-up TNG and later.

Nothing but what appears to be a placeholder for the past year. Anyone have the word on what's going on with them? Thanks!
