Description
This release presents Dollar Brand's (aka Abdullah Ibrahim) first trio album and his earliest recording as a leader. Reissued in its entirety for the first time ever on CD, 'Dollar Brand Plays Sphere Jazz' (Gallo Continental ZB8047), is presented here with its original South African cover. Includes 16-page booklet with rare photos, memorabilia, original liner notes and updated notes.
