A Quiet Time

Description

"He is all my inspiration." --- Miles Davis ---. For more than six decades now, AHMAD JAMAL has displayed a deeply expressive playing style that combines unparalleled classical technique worthy of Franz Liszt, elegant execution traits characteristic of Art Tatum, and a relaxed flair reminiscent of Erroll Garner. His first success came in 1958 with 'Poinciana', recorded with his trio, which remained in the Top 100 for over two years, a record for a jazz album. After that, AHMAD JAMAL saw many of his albums praised by critics, including 'The Awakening', 'Outermeinnerspace', 'Digital Works' and 'It's Magic'. 'It's A Quiet Time' has all the attributes to join this pantheon. The eleven tracks draw from the bottomless well of Ahmad's creativity and benefit from that intractable rhythmic pulse known as swing. When many artists claim that their best recording will certainly be the next, it's often just a form of boasting. But when AHMAD JAMAL records, people listen! "This new album joins the long list of his masterpieces, and perfectly expresses the serenity and joy of an artist in full force." --- Le Nouvel Observateur ---. "This album is a festival of pianistic inventiveness, a masterclass!" --- Jazzman ---. To celebrate BMG's anniversary, a selection of CDs or LPs at a special "COLLECTION LES ESSENTIELS" price includes a CD Sampler.
