A popular yet strangely underrated jazz pianist, Ahmad Jamal employs a unique approach to the keys, highlighting soulful use of space and silence, tension and release, and an economical use of notes. Jazz icon Miles Davis pointed to Jamal as a major influence, as did Red Garland and George Duke. This set comprises two complete slices of Jamal in concert before two different yet always appreciative European audiences.
