Alone Together – Dollar Brand – Gato Barbieri – LP – Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 14days)

“Alone Together” is a compelling snapshot of two singular visionaries—South African pianist Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) and Argentinian saxophonist Gato Barbieri—finding common ground in the language of jazz. Recorded in the early 1970s, this album captures a unique transcontinental dialogue, where the lyricism of Brand’s keyboard work meets Barbieri’s signature raw tenor tone. The result is an exploration of melody and improvisation that feels both intimate and boundary-pushing. Every track is an invitation into a creative conversation, with each artist challenging and inspiring the other. Listeners are treated to unexpected turns: Brand’s spiritual, rhythmically rooted playing provides fertile soil for Barbieri’s passionate, searching solos. This isn’t just another session—it’s a rare convergence of African and Latin American influences, filtered through the lens of jazz’s most adventurous era. For collectors and new listeners alike, “Alone Together” offers both historical significance and ongoing relevance—a testament to the power of improvised music to bridge continents and cultures. It’s a must-have for anyone invested in the global reach of jazz and the artistry of two musicians at the height of their creative powers.
