I was really happy with the Town Hall Concert.  My wife and son liked it too.  Did Terrance Blanchard play every number? (the trumpet player in NY only played did the first half of them.  Also did Ibrahim comp at all? He didn't in NY.

That is some unique material thanks! I love the free jazz Ibrahim of the ‘60s, the more African oriented of the ‘70s and ‘80s but also the more melancholic Abdullah of the ‘90s and 00’s. With 31 records by him in my collection he’s an absolute favorite of me. 

Saw him last year in Belgium and it was indescribable. One of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.

A few years ago I saw him play solo at Carnegie Hall. it was really beautiful.

Yeah I saw him in 2018 in Leuven, Belgium. His piano was unamplified so everybody hold their breath for the 45 minutes he played. Such an intimate experience and every note he played sounded so sincere and beautiful. It’s still one of my most memorable concerts.
