All About Ahmad Jamal
from CiTR -- Little Bit of Soul
Today's spotlight is on pianist Ahmad Jamal and his influential jazz trio.

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!
