Host Wycliffe Gordon offers background, interviews and insights to accompany spirited performances from jazz greats

(8) Ahmad Jamal

A legend among masters, Ahmad Jamal’s career has spanned half a century. Miles Davis once asked his own pianist Wynton Kelly to “sound more like Ahmad Jamal”. Jamal brings his deft touch and perfect balance to the House of Swing to create space all his own. With his trio, Jamal leads his signature Poinciana, Jimmy Heath’s Mellow Drama and his new composition Papillon. And of course more! (Murray Street Productions)
