    I grew up with Ahmad Jamal in more ways than most folks. I not only grew up with his masterful music but his amazing person as he was my Uncle. Uncle Jamal was not only brilliant in playing the piano but brilliant in his thinking. Many times we would talk about life, faith, history, and many other things. That is what I will miss most in his passing. Thanks for posting this beautiful album and remembering my Uncle, Ahmad Jamal. Peace and Blessings upon you.

      Your uncle was an amazing pianist and artist. He made so many great albums, with one also being a marvelous funky, souly and groovy Fender Rhodes based album Ahmed Jamal '73. A personal favorite of mine that one.

    The Miles Davis/Ahmad Jamal connection came about in an interesting way. Miles's sister Dorothy was in a club where Jamal was playing and she was so impressed by his playing that she called her brother right there to tell him about Jamal. She held the phone up to the bandstand so that Miles could hear his playing. Miles was taken in immediately by Ahmads style on piano and admired his, "use of space."

    I have loved Jamal's music for a long time, but I have never seen this album. It's not available on iTunes, where I get most of my music. I hope it shows up there so that I can buy it. His death is a great loss for the music world and particularly the jazz community.

      first album I heard by Ahmad Jamal was "The Awakening" - i already enjoyed Oscar Peterson and had piano lessons but Ahmad has a way. It's more open and i was lucky enough to see him perform at Yoshi's when he reunited with his best trio in about 98? I wonder if there's footage from that night . I didn't even realize he just passed. He has left us so many gifts

As i walked into the house the music was incredible sounding, specially since he was jamming rite along with the tune. 47 years later birdland from weather report has introduced me to some of the finest music that i never had to look for.

    1st song: "Handicapper." Mmm. As I'd been told by people that would know, AJ had a gambling problem - especially he did like the ponies. It created some sticky, maybe dangerous situations. I would say that the "problem" eventually got worked out, thankfully, and he maintained a well heeled, well balanced later career that carried him to about age ninety, when travel just got to be too much. Not bad. Memory eternal.
