“ He is all my inspiration. ” --- Miles Davis ---.For more than six decades now, AHMAD JAMAL has displayed a deeply expressive style of playing that combines exceptional classical technique worthy of Franz Liszt, elegant passages characteristic of Art Tatum, and flourishes that recall Erroll Garner. His first success came in 1958 with “Poinciana,” recorded as a trio, which remained in the Top 100 for more than two years, a record for a jazz record. 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 qualities to belong in this pantheon. The eleven tracks draw from Ahmad’s bottomless well of creativity and benefit from that relentless rhythmic pulse called swing. When many artists say that their best recording will surely be the next one, it is often just a form of boasting. But when AHMAD JAMAL records, people listen!“This new album joins the long list of his masterpieces, and wonderfully expresses the serenity and joy of an artist at the height of his powers.” --- Le Nouvel Observateur---.“This album is a festival of pianistic inventiveness, a master class!” --- Jazzman ---.On the occasion of the BMG label anniversary, a selection of CDs or LPs at a special price “COLLECTION LES ESSENTIELS” includes a CD Sampler.
