Which Ahmad Jamal Recordings?


I'm a fan of jazz trio (piano, bass and drums) and heard a nice cut from Jamal's new recording today on Jazz 88 (Newark). I'm not really familiar with his stuff, though I remember one of my colleagues back when I worked in D.C. was a huge fan. My limited exploration of this area of jazz involves the usual suspects: Bill Evans, Oscar Peterson, Kenny Barron, Bill Charlap, etc. I really like ballads and stuff for late night listening. Can anyone recommend some titles for me to explore?

You can't go wrong with any of his recordings. Try Rossiter Road for nice late night ballads.
Fully concur with Ghostrider45.Everytime I listen to AJ, my foot just tap ,tap, tap.I think he takes the trophy for the most underrated jazz artist.
I have always liked the 20 bit Telarc; Live at Joe Segal's.
You have to turn the volume up a little, but very good sonic quality for a live recording.
