Taken from Abdullah Ibrahim's summer 2023 sold-out headline date at London's Barbican Centre, the new album Inch3Inch follows suit and is spread across two performances - the first is recorded without an audience ahead of the concert straight to analogue on a 1Inch Scully tape machine, which had previously been used by Elvis at the famous Memphis-based Sun Studios. The second recording is taken from the evening's performance itself with Ibrahim performing in a unique trio which includes Cleave Guyton (flute, piccolo, saxophone) who has performed alongside the likes of Aretha Franklin, Dizzy Gillespie, and Joe Henderson, as well as lauded bassist and cellist Noah Jackson, both of which are members of Ekaya and featured on Ibrahim's top 3 Billboard Jazz album InchThe BalanceInch. 2-CD
