Our Take

Welcome to the jazz circus, ladies and gentlemen, where Ahmad Jamal Trio's latest offering, "The Awakening," is the main event under the big top. This album is like a smooth pour of scotch on a cold winter's night - comforting, warming, and damn right classy.

From the moment the needle hits the grooves, you are transported to a world where piano keys dance like Fred Astaire and bass lines thump like a heartbeat in love. Jamal's fingers glide effortlessly across the keys, painting a soundscape that is as vibrant as a Mondrian painting.

Standout tracks like "Dolphin Dance" and "I Love Music" showcase Jamal's mastery of his craft, while the trio's chemistry is palpable throughout the entire record. It's like watching the Harlem Globetrotters on the court - you can't help but be in awe of their skill and camaraderie.

But don't let the smooth melodies fool you - there is a mischievous twinkle in Jamal's eye that keeps you on your toes. The tempo shifts and the unexpected key changes will leave you dizzy and exhilarated, like a rollercoaster ride through a musical funhouse.

So grab yourself a glass of something strong, sit back, and let "The Awakening" wash over you like a cool breeze on a hot summer's day. This album is a timeless classic that will have you tapping your toes and snapping your fingers until the very last note fades into the night. Trust me, you don't want to miss this jazz carnival.
