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.
