Product Description
Contents: ?sListen to Ahmad Jamal?t [Japan Exclusive Release] [SHM-CD Specification] Reissue of rare albums from the Argo Records era of pianist Ahmad Jamal (born July 2, 1930, died April 16, 2023). Based in Chicago, he primarily performed with a trio, and his unique sense of rhythm and touch is known to have influenced Miles Davis. In addition, in later years, he was quick to recognize the talent of the then-unknown Hiromi Uehara while she was a student at Berklee College of Music, and helped her debut with Telarc. This reissue focuses on albums from the mid-1950s to early 1960s, primarily featuring the trio formation with the late, brilliant bassist Israel Crosby. Four out of the ten titles are being released on CD in Japan for the first time. All titles are being released on SHM-CD for the first time. This is the memorable first album of the trio formed with Israel Crosby and Vernell Fornia. The masterful use of space and dynamics, which even captivated Miles Davis, was already established.
