Performer: Ahmad Jamal
Producer: Jean-Francois Deiber Distributor: E1 Distribution (USA) Notes: Ahmad Jamal: Todd Coolman (acoustic bass); James Cammack (bass guitar); David Bowler, Gordon Lane (drums). Personnel: Ahmad Jamal (piano). A popular yet strangely underrated jazz pianist, Ahmad Jamal employs a unique approach to the keys, highlighting soulful use of space and silence, tension and release, and an economical use of notes. Jazz icon Miles Davis pointed to Jamal as a major influence, as did Red Garland and George Duke. This set comprises two complete slices of Jamal in concert before two different yet always appreciative European audiences.
With his spare, subtle swing, pianist Ahmad Jamal is an important figure in both mainstream and post-bop jazz. The commercial success of his 1950s trio recordings made important inroads for jazz. His influence on Miles Davis was acknowledged by the trumpeter himself, who recorded many tunes from Jamal's repertoire. Incredibly, Jamal maintained his verve and artistic relevance all the way into the 21st century, long after many of his contemporaries had passed on.
