It's Ahmad...

"Well, if you are not a jazz fan, stop reading...For you jazz lovers, this album is a taste of the creation of the modern trio. Although back then trio's were not always b/d/p, this is a classic trio. Ahmad has inspired monsters such as Jarrett and Mehldau, with his classic, smooth playing. This album sounds really old, but the classics never get old to me..."

Just GREAT listening

"this is wonderful listening .. the selections, the way they are arranged .. the sounds .. WOW what a treat !!!

I started with one 33 1/3 lp years ago and after listening to it again some time ago decided I wanted more of the works of this great musician and so have started collecting other works by him."

Ahmad jamal, a winner.

"tasteful, playful & bouncy is how i would describe this piano trio recording. anything recorded by ahmad jamal in the 50's or early 60's is worth owning. i rank him up there with my favortie jazz pianists, including, of course, bill evans and thelonius monk. great sunday afternoon or early evening listening is the pigeonhole i place this album in at home. enjoyable beginning to end."
