Random Page  /  Random Song


Ahmad Jamal (born July 2, 1930) is a noted American jazz pianist.

Jamal was one of Miles Davis's favorite pianists and was a key influence on the trumpeter's \"First Great Quintet\" (featuring John Coltrane on tenor saxophone, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums). Davis had long admired Jamal's use of space and dynamics, and had asked Wynton Kelly to \"sound more like Ahmad Jamal\" on the track \"Freddie Freeloader\" on the landmark album Kind of Blue.

Since the 1980s Jamal has been regularly touring the major clubs of the United States and the large European jazz festivals. He is generally accompanied by bassist James Cammack and drummer Idris Muhammad. He has also performed regularly with saxophonist George Coleman.
