Description

//Verve//

£27.99 – 1xLP

By 1970, pianist Ahmad Jamal’s style had changed a bit since the 1950s, becoming denser and more adventurous while still retaining his musical identity and signature elegance.

Jamal’s trio – bassist Jamil Nasser (whose double-timing lines are sometimes furious) and drummer Frank Gant, deliver intriguing performances, showing that jamal was continuing to evolve. This Verve by request series features a remastered transfer on 180-gram vinyl, pressed at Third Man in Detroit.
