All About Ahmad Jamal

from CiTR -- Little Bit of Soul Hosted by CiTR & Discorder Magazine

Today's spotlight is on pianist Ahmad Jamal and his influential jazz trio. Beginning in the 50's, Ahmad Jamal began changing the timing, feel and length of jazz pieces making them sound contemporary, even by today's standards. I interview my friend Matthew Chalmers, a jazz drummer from Toronto, for his input on the trio. We dive right into the music to analyze just how and why Jamal's trio won praise from big names such as Miles Davis and Cannonball Adderley while tracking it all through the music!
