Comments for Jamal, Ahmad, Ahmad Jamal At The Blackhawk

Live recording from The Blackhawk, San Francisco, 1961.To quote John Hammond`s liner notes, "The Ahmad Jamal Trio far transcends the jazz world, and the fact it has been consistently popular has caused the self-styled jazz criticsto polish off epithets as `commercial` and `cocktail music`.Pay them no mind, and listen to some of the most sensitive,delicate and subtle music in jazz history".
