Ahmad Jamal & Ledisi (Toppyjazz 301)

Looking for some material from Mr. Howard Roberts we found an old record from Ahmad Jamal with Howard Roberts "The Bright The Blue and The Beautiful". Ahmad Jamel is praised and knocked down for his music. Some critics say 1. Ahmad Jamal is no important musician (Wiki USA) 2. Most important pianist after 1945 (Wiki Netherlands) 3. Jamal is a nice barpianist (Wiki Germany). We heard the Mosaic box with Ahmad Jamal's Arco period. We are sorry to say we don't think Jamal is a great pianist. Also his usage of space, fingersettings , understatement and crack in the vinyl effect is sometimes very weird. But judge by yourself this week by Toppyjazz.

Ledisi Young is our second musician and what a voice. Special listen to her fantastic version of Straight no Chaser.

Playlist :

01 - Yesterdays - Ahmad Jamal (album The Bright The Blue The Beautiful)
