AHMAD JAMAL . One
Jamal was one of Miles Davis's favorite pianists and was a key influence on the trumpeter's "First Great Quintet" ( featuring John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums). Davis had long admired Jamal's use of space and dynamics, and had asked Wynton Kelly to "sound more like Ahmad Jamal" on the track "Freddie Freeloader" on the landmark album Kind of Blue.
Since the 1980s Jamal has been regularly touring the major clubs of the United States and the large European jazz festivals. He is generally accompanied by bassist James Cammack and drummer Idris Muhammad. He has also performed regularly with saxophonist George Coleman.

How lucky am I who has just discovered Ahmad Jamal? Browsing KZread music recommendations I came across Poinciana and was blown away! I then found Soulgirl and numerous other genius tracks in his 40years back catalogue of which I have barely scratched the surface of. Such ecstasy and joy still to be found. Thank you Lord!
PRIME EXAMPLE of WHY We Must Appreciate Our Musical Elders! A 40+ Year Old Classic! This piece Ry'chea, Much of the Music of this "ERA" goes unheralded and forgotten,.... because it was the "DISCO" Days!
I remember when Curtis mayfield said that Ahmad Jamal was one of his favourite artists. And I’ve been a fan ever since. “Bloody brilliant!!!”
I first heard this way, way back. Searched for it in the past, and now I finally get to enjoy it again
