Ahmad Jamal - The Awakening (Verve By Request Series) - LP

Hear This Sampled In ALL The Hip-Hop.  (One of my favorite records of all time.) 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. Verve By Request Series features transfers from the analog tapes remastered on 180-gram vinyl.  Tracks:  - Disc 1 - 1 The Awakening 2 I Love Music 3 Patterns - Disc 2 - 1 Dolphin Dance 2 You're My Everything 3 Stolen Moments 4 Wave
