Our Take

Ahmad Jamal's latest release, "Emerald City Nights - Live At The Penthouse (1966-1968) Vol. 3", is a delightful trip down memory lane. With his signature style and innovative approach to jazz, Jamal takes us on a musical journey that is both nostalgic and fresh.

The album opens with the infectious energy of "Poinciana", setting the tone for the rest of the record. Jamal's masterful piano playing is front and centre, leading the band with effortless grace and precision. The live setting adds an extra layer of excitement, capturing the raw energy of Jamal's performances.

Tracks like "Wave" and "But Not For Me" showcase Jamal's versatility as a musician, blending elements of traditional jazz with his own unique twist. His improvisational skills are on full display here, as he effortlessly weaves complex melodies and rhythms together.

But it's not just Jamal who shines on this record - his bandmates are equally impressive. Drummer Frank Gant and bassist Jamil Nasser provide a solid foundation for Jamal to build upon, while saxophonist George Coleman adds a touch of elegance to the proceedings.

Overall, "Emerald City Nights - Live At The Penthouse (1966-1968) Vol. 3" is a must-listen for fans of jazz music. Ahmad Jamal's genius is on full display here, reminding us why he is considered one of the greats of the genre. So sit back, relax, and let Jamal take you on a musical journey you won't soon forget.
