    Gorgeous, engaging sound on this single-channel pressing. You can sense the space but it's not bothersome since the band is so energetic and cohesive. A perfect match for the initial release.

  • Ahmad Jamal's Stereo Gem

    5 out of 5 stars
    Hoz-Pomrage-WehdpJune 30, 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧

    Being an Ahmad Jamal album, just grab it. As someone who appreciates his music, there aren't many of his records that I don't adore. I'm more into Stereo than Mono, and this release is really good. My copy is VG+ and the vinyl is quiet. There's a clear distinction between the instruments, but the audience noise leans more to the right side rather than being evenly spread.

  • Jamal Trio's Pershing Volume 2

    4 out of 5 stars
    dfegikuevoApril 6, 2024United Kingdom🇬🇧

    While it may not reach the exceptional level of its renowned predecessor, the second volume of Jamal's trio's historic Pershing performance is still very enjoyable. Be sure to listen to the outstanding arrangement of "Cherokee.

About Ahmad Jamal

Ahmad Jamal, born Frederick Russell Jones in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was a titan of jazz, renowned for his distinctive, minimalist piano style that has inspired generations. His career spanned over six decades, during which he became one of the most successful small-group leaders in jazz. Jamal's conversion to Ahmadiyya Islam in 1952 led him to change his name and embark on a musical journey that would leave an indelible mark on the genre.

Jamal's innovative approach to composition and arrangement earned him a place among the most individualistic artists of his time. His 1958 album "At the Pershing: But Not for Me" is a testament to his genius, showcasing his ability to transform familiar tunes into captivating performances. This album, among others, has influenced not just jazz musicians but also hip-hop artists, demonstrating Jamal's enduring impact across musical genres.

Throughout his career, Jamal received numerous accolades, including a Lifetime Achievement Grammy and the prestigious NEA Jazz Master title. His legacy continues to inspire, with recent live albums like "Emerald City Nights" offering a glimpse into his timeless artistry.
