详细介绍:
Remarkably, at 89 years young, pianist Ahmad Jamal is still making fine records. Imbued with sage experience and erudite taste, Jamal has an unerring sense of what still moves him and what he still wants to express. Though nowhere near the late career masterpiece of his 2016 release Marseille these mostly solo outtakes—recorded during that album%27s sessions—are very personal snapshots of the moment rather than any artistic statement. Ballades is Jamal noodling; his still fantastic touch on the keys and elastic blending of melody and rhythm make it worth a listen. The pianist, who first gained fame in 1958 with the release of At the Pershing, opens this set with a spacious solo take of Marseille%27s title track. A wry, relaxed version of Poinciana unfolds from his long connection to this signature tune. He%27s joined by longtime bassist James Cammack on three tracks, including an effective mashup between Rodgers & Hart%27s Spring is Here and Bill Evans%27 Your Story. For those seeking undeniable evidence of Jamal%27s still vital genius there%27s the spontaneously composed and recorded Because I Love You. The shimmering version of the Johnny Mercer/Johnny Mandel song, Emily which closes the album is a classic example of the unbridled imagination and formidable instrumental chops that Jamal can bring when playing by, and one suspects, for himself. © Robert Baird / Qobuz
