| Jazz for aficionados Ghosthouse, you mean "Schubert" don't you. I believe he was over 80 and now that you mention it, I haven't noticed him in quite a while. From what I could discern, he lived around Minneapolis.I remember, he mentioned that he was not as swift as ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Well aficionados, apparently we have lost two constant members of our esteemed group who were most knowledgeable on the subject of "Jazz", for reasons unknown; but still, move on we must, and move on we will.Miles said Ahmad influenced him more th... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Jafant I don't even know if I can remember how many copies of that record "Live At The Pershing" I have worn out and replaced; besides sounding good, it has so much sentimental value.59 was such a good year, I don't know if I'll ever catch up to a... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Acman, I'm glad you explained that; some of us are retired and we don't have an excuse, other than who knows for what reason, we just didn't want to respond.As you stated, he has gotten a lot better, but we're talking about music, and maybe not "j... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Since there is so little interest in Ahmad Jamal, I have chosen to let there be a beginning and an end to the Ahmad Jamal story; someone else can fill in the middle, or start on another artist.This ends with one of my favorite artists Mr. Yusef La... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman, as a result of so much enthusiasm, I most certainly will not be covering "Ahmad Jamal" record by record, year by year; I will decide what I think is significant, review the best, and leave the rest.Enjoy the music. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Finally we're into 1959 (that was a very good year) "The Piano Scene of Ahmad Jamal" is the featured album. BTW here are some comments by other musicians about Ahmad: The Musicians Speak "When people say Jamal influenced me a lot, they're ri... | |
| Jazz for aficionados What's up Rok? When I said "You can keep today's listen to yourself" I was hoping to get you into the artist that's in the spotlight, but evidently Ahmad Jamal is not your cup of tea; in the book of Job, it is said "This to shall pass", meaning i... | |

| Jazz for aficionados Alex, we'll rely on you for anything significant before 58. He recorded quite a bit in 58, and I don't know how much of it is redundant; meaning some of the tunes were recorded earlier, he might have decided to re-do them. That's the case we have... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Michelzay,"The Ahmad Jamal Trio Vol 4" doesn't appear as such on "you tube", but what does come up is "Ahmad's Blues" which has the same tunes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnTbSpyEIf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7RIDZulyHA... | |
| Jazz for aficionados Frogman I've been trying to figure out what you're trying to say in regard to reviewing an artist; are you saying review every record that artist has made?Alex, do you think you have posted the most significant recordings made before 58?Are there ... | |
| Jazz for aficionados That's a marvelous suggestion Alex, could you bring us up to 58. Thank you.Enjoy the music. | |
| Jazz for aficionados I'll begin my review by sharing with you what "Wiki" has to say about Mr. Jamal. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmad_JamalA good friend of mine managed to be on the set of "Live At The Pershing" in 58. He was 18 (same age as me), I don't ... |
