This release compiles all known 1961 performances by the celebrated Ahmad Jamal Trio with Israel Crosby and Vernel Fournier at the pianist's own club, the Alhambra in Chicago. The Alhambra performances were originally issued on two LPs, Ahmad Jamal's Alhambra (Argo LPS-685), and All of You (Argo LPS-691). Four extra tunes from the engagement that were not issued on the original LPs have been added here, as well as two complete rarely heard sessions by the same trio recorded during the same period. This formation of the group wouldn't last long, as Israel Crosby died in mid-1962.

Two CD set. Never before released Ahmad Jamal set from the 1960s recorded at the Penthouse Jazz Club in Seattle. Remastered audio transferred from the original tape reels. This set includes an extensive booklet with previously unpublished photos from Chuck Stewart and Don Bronstein; essays by jazz writer Eugene Holley Jr. And producer Zev Feldman; plus interviews with Ahmad Jamal, Jon Batiste, Kenny Barron, Aaron Diehl and Marshall Chess.

Working primarily within the context of a trio, the renowned pianist has set the standard by which rhythm and improvisation are incorporated with space, silence and volume. Coinciding with the jazz pioneer's 50th anniversary of life in the spotlight comes Nature, a joint venture between Atlantic and the Paris-based Birdology label. Gorgeously evocative, the album blends straight-ahead jazz with the sounds of the Caribbean on a mix of fresh originals and standards.

This 1976 LP fell out of print for a long time and became maddeningly hard to find. It captures the jazz piano genius accompanied by guitar (Calvin Keys), bass (John Heard), drums and congas, playing extended versions of "Poinciana" (he also recorded a classic studio version of that standard) and his original compositions "Effendi," "Folklore" and "Bellows." Good Time.

LIVE AT BUBBA'S

When this album came out in 1995, it was an incredible breath of oxygen that penetrated the lungs of jazz, until then asphyxiated by young wolves, or let's say young clones, who were competing to see who could best imitate McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans or Herbie Hancock... This album by Ahmad Jamal, a legendary pianist if ever there was one, is perhaps his greatest album of the decade... After two disappointing albums released by Telarc in the early '90s (here and here...), here he is with a project that's downright exciting and worthy of his talent. Jamal has a new lease on life. Surrounded by a rhythm section he knows very well (his friends James Cammack, Jamil Nasser and Idris Muhammad are all part of the project), and with the exception of Israel Crosby and Vernell Fournier, Jamal has never felt more at ease than with these three. He also reunites with Manolo Badrena on percussion and George Coleman, an unfortunately little-known tenor saxophonist with an impressive track record (from Max Roach to Chet Baker and Miles Davis). Jamal's style is percussive piano, incredible finesse and suppleness of play, and an unheard-of sense of revival and dynamics. In short, if this pianist is unavoidable, it's also because he's a sacred monster with his own identifiable "sound", right from the very first bars. You won't soon forget him... Personnel : Ahmad Jamal - piano James Cammack - basse (pistes 1, 2, 4, 5, 7 et 8) Jamil Nasser - basse (pistes 3 et 6) Idris Muhammad - batterie Manolo Badrena - percussions George Coleman - saxophone t�nor (pistes 3 et 6)

At the age of 88, composer and legendary jazz musician Ahmad Jamal presents Ballades, an album that sees him returning to his roots in a transcendent journey. Jamal comes from the closely-knit club of the great masters of jazz. That is why, in the manner of Coltrane and Miles, he goes back to his past as a way to overcome it. At its heart, Ballades is a solo piano album - something Jamal has never done before (double-bass player James Cammack is featured on three tracks). The music is art in its purest form, ranging from the iconic ''Poinciana'' to the symbolic ''Marseille.'' Ballades is a new masterpiece in this artist's long and distinguished career.
