AHMAD JAMAL  -  Blue moon
> In the jazz world, I've found that the long-established artists, especially the ones who play in the well-established styles, get the bulk of the press and buzz. There's nothing wrong with giving those guys their due even today, and if you peeked down to my list already, you saw the [...]

False Prophets

False Prophets Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I will meet you there. Recorded live in Pershing Lounge in Chicago, Ahmad Jamal's Poinciana is one of the most famous jazz grooves of all time. Vernel Fournier and Israel Crosby follow Jamal's dynamic and expressive range of chords with hypnotic and breathing rhythms, giving birth to a vast range of emotional flavors. Bonus of the day is Nicolas Jaar's side project Darkside with guitarist Dave Harrington. Ahmad Jamal- [...]

Ahmad Jamal: Miles Davis Was His Biggest Fan and So Am I–Returns to LA in November

Tom Schnabel I am a huge Ahmad Jamal fan.  When in college i used to put his lp Naked City Theme on my Garrard SL55 turntable, which would turn itself off after playing a side.  It was my lullaby. While many jazz pianists have been influenced by McCoy Tyners big fourth chords or Herbie Hancock's angular melodic lines, few pianists have actually emulated Jamal's style.  That's because his music is so singular and distinctive that it is really hard to copy.  Some called him a cocktail pianist;  true, he loved recording popular songs like the Broadway [...]

Half Notes: Ahmad Jamal – Ahmad’s Blues (1958)

Ahmad Jamal Trio- Ahmads Blues
Ahmad Jamal originally recorded this concert at The Spotlite Club, in Washington, D.C., on Sept. 6, 1958. Featured is the same terrific trio that had that Top 40 hit with "Poinciana" - Jamal, bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Vernel Fournier. That signature song, which charted for 108 weeks (then unprecedented for a jazz record) allowed Jamal the financial freedom to

Throwback Thursday (Jay-Z Samples Edition): Ahmad Jamal - Pastures

Throwback Thursday (Jay-Z Samples Edition):  Ahmad Jamal - Pastures Jazz pianist and composer Ahmad Jamal is, according to Stanley Crouch , second in importance in the development of jazz after 1945 only to Charlie Parker.  For five decades, he has been one of the most successful small-group leaders in jazz. “Pastures” is off Ahmad Jamal’s 1974 album Jamal Plays Jamal .  You may be much more familiar however, with the opening piano sequence, as it was sampled by Ski Beats for Jay-Z’s “Feelin’ It” off the Reasonable Doubt album.   The track was originally meant to be a Camp Lo record, but Ski [...]

12 Days of Christmas MP3’s for 2010: Day 5

Can you believe that we don't even have our Christmas tree up yet? Why?

If not for the painting, this post would have gone up a day earlier. Anyhow, here are some jazzy Christmas songs for your enjoyment, but don't forget there's more! Here are the links to Day 1 , Day 2 , Day 3 , and Day 4 of this series. [...]

Can You See Santa From The Southside? (Jazz Christmas Songs) [1]

I've never spent Christmas in the Caribbean or anywhere warm. Perhaps that is why I've always been drawn to ska and reggae versions of Christmas songs. As a a fan of both skiing and snowboarding, we generally head towards the mountains around the holidays if we go anywhere at all. So for all of you cold weather people (including me on this freezing snowy night in Chicago) here are some jazzy holiday songs to warm you up a bit. MP3 | Dexter Gordon - The Christmas Song [...]

Marian, Librarian Remember that one from Music Man (one of my favorite Broadway shows)? My wife is the theater director at the local high school; she's considering doing Music Man next fall so she can cast our 8-year old, Skyler, as Winthrip. (Eat his dust, Ronnie Howard.) They're doing Pippin in a few weeks in which Sky is playing Theo. He's gonna rock and I will be a proud papa. Did I mention that we had band practice out in the Buddha Barn again this past Monday?

Tranquility

Tranquility Life has been crazy the past couple weeks, months... But I recently managed to point my middle finger at everything and take a couple hours to throw records in my apartment... with just the right amount of scotch (Glenfiddich, how could I live without you?). Strange how nice it is to do nothing except enjoy music. Strange how easy it is to forget that feeling, forget that option even when you most need these things. One of the stand-outs of my little escape was Ahmad [...]
