Sixty years ago, a young pianist in Chicago startled the jazz world — and listeners far beyond — with a recording that remains a classic: “Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing: But Not for Me.”
Some might maintain that the Pittsburgh pianist Ahmad Jamal is too much of a showman to be a great artist, as they did when he had his slick jukebox hit with Poinciana in 1958.
Somewhat ahead of his time Jamal’s solos compressed gospel soul and lounge trio jazz rolling blues and sparkling bebop lines into a single emotionally rich improvisation.
