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, \u003cem\u003eBallades\u003c\/em\u003e 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.'' \u003cem\u003eBallades\u003c\/em\u003e is a new masterpiece in this artist's long and distinguished career.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"JAZZ VILLAGE","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":46012905881834,"sku":"3149020933213","price":15.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/3423\/3066\/files\/3713307-2613528_e8c0c9aa-53c9-4e35-a291-08c0099f8291.jpg?v=1778375786","url":"https:\/\/arkivmusic.com\/products\/ballades-280841","provider":"ArkivMusic","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
