Grew up hearing that on an old Stereogram. My Dad had a copy, but cover was much greener.
Years later, bought myself a copy.

Abdullah Ibrahim, quiet giant of the jazz piano, has died at the age of 91.
Abdullah Ibrahim, the South African jazz pianist deemed his country’s equivalent to Mozart by Nelson Mandela, died Monday in his adopted home of Germany after a short illness. He was 91 years old.
“Abdullah passed away peacefully with South Africa and its people in his heart,” his partner, Marina Umari, said in a statement. “His love for his country never wavered, no matter where in the world he found himself.”
In an extraordinarily accomplished career that spanned eight decades, Ibrahim helped bring bebop stylings to South Africa, and he bonded with Duke Ellington, who produced one of his early, influential recordings. In his later years, he became an idol and an inspiration to new generations of jazz pianists.
