Ahmad Jamal Trio: Germany 1999

[@marcellomentasimonsennico5670]

In my opinion Mr. Jamal has has two great periods in his career: first, from the early 50's to the early 70's, with his great first trios (Ray Crawford, Israel Crosby, Vernell Fournier, Jamil Nasser, Frank Gant, etc). Most of the seventies and early eighties introduced a bit of commercialism and electronics in his music, somehow putting his pianism into shadows. He emerged mightily in the nineties, as this video clearly shows in depth, and he is playing beautifully until now, 2016, at 86!! A good example of a high profile jazzman who has not become outdated or decadent. Long Live Ahmad!!!!!

Saw him at London house chicago 1963.

Vernon and Israel ?

[@marcellomentasimonsennico5670]

Vernel Fournier, a Drums Master from New Orleans, and Israel Crosby, a real pioner in Jazz Bass soloing.​@@lesliehayton2929

UNREAL!! GREAT, no matter the date! Love the exquisite talent of this great Ahmad Jamal and his artists!

[@nicolasderuiter1699]

The bass solo around 40:00, driven by masterful drum textures, was WOOOOOW

[@Jerominus77]

The drummer! I love him.

[@bebopbonsai]

This is a great performance. We should pause and appreciate how young James was on this tour, and being part of such a heavy trio playing largely improvised music at such a deep level. Dude was only like 22 or 23. I know because I knew him during this time- I was a young drummer just a couple years under him on the scene. He was someone I really looked up to. Such a mature and sound and unfussy vibe. We played in some of the same groups of musicians, subbing for each other all the time. He’s a good dude, and now that we are into our 40s it really amazes me how young we were playing with amazing older musicians, especially the guys like James, who have family members who are influential and important to the jazz scene and the art form itself. Peace and love to all jazz lovers and musicians ❤️

Ahmad Jamal--Piano James Johnson III--Drums James Cammack--Bass My favorite Jamal trio 2nd only to Frank Gant-Drums and Jamil Nasser-Bass -- for me....

[@brandoncallaway2619]

Id be very interested to know how he came to play a Bosendorfer that night when he is a decades long Steinway guy. Steinway takes this kind of thing very seriously. I must say it would be nice to hear him more on a Bosey. The mellowness and colorful resonant bass agree with his stylistic approach. This piano got quite a workout that night!

[@chucklenatti8566]

Maybe because this concert was recorded in Germany

[@lesliehayton2929]

Saw him at North Sea playing a big Kawai , taped up , sounded great , John heard and yoron isreal on drums happy days !

Yes, Ed Espinoza, Ahmad Jamal is right up there with the greatest! SYLVIA - FL - 06/23/2018 You have good taste, too!

[@williammarszzlek8575]

[@alemuabayneh2519]

Great music by this exceptional pianist and his trio.

[@rohansask9638]

Wow. He has still got it!

[@edespinoza3403]

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but isn't Ahmad Jamal one of the greatest ?

[@franguccio1]

Yes he is. I love his use of space and counterpoints. And I think he may have the best left hand of any jazz pianist.

[@cerval41]

franguccio1 I consider the best left hand of any pianist Bill Evans

[@franguccio1]

No argument there...I was speaking of live artists....

[@QuietOne24]

Rolf Westerberg try listening to Hiromi Uehara and see some good left and right hands.

[@oui_mathispicard]

+Rolf Westerberg Art Tatum nah ?

[@lesliehayton2929]

That is some piano!

[@brandoncallaway2619]

Perfection....and an incredible Bosendorfer doesnt hurt either! I thought he was a Steinway artist though....

[@lesliehayton2929]

[@MrChris76ize]

what are the musicians' names ? Thanks for them

[@MrChris76ize]

Missed the beginning, so : Bass : James Cammack Drums : James Johnson

[@davidsempau2973]

Great musicians. Only regret: an overwhelming ride cymbal. Not the best choice for a trio format
