The Awakening (Verve By Request Series) [Vinyl LP]

By 1970, pianist Ahmad Jamal's style had changed a bit since the 1950s, becoming denser and more adventurous while still retaining his musical identity and signature elegance. Jamal's trio - bassist Jamil Nasser (whose double-timing lines are sometimes furious) and drummer Frank Gant - deliver intriguing performances, showing that Jamal was continuing to evolve.
