Ahmad Jamal: Ballades
by Dan Bilawsky
At 89, Ahmad Jamal remains a master of space, time, openness and poetics.

His early trio classics became a model of sorts, inspiring Miles ...
Ahmad Jamal: Marseille
by Ian Patterson
Four years between studio albums is a long gap by Ahmad Jamal's standards. Not that the 87-year-old pianist has been idle since the widely acclaimed Saturday Morning (Jazz Village, 2013). He's released two live albums in that time--Live at The Olympia (Jazz Village, 2014) featuring Yusef Lateef and Live in Marciac 2014 (Jazz Village, 2015)--and remains ...
Katie Thiroux: Walking a Classy and Swinging Line

Face of the Bass: The Atlas of Jazz
The great Milt Hinton often said that the bass is the “Atlas of jazz" because its role in the jazz band is to “carry the other instruments on its shoulders." “Bass" is often misspelled as “base" but the meaning is very similar in music, that of “foundation." In early jazz bands, bassists played the bass fiddle, ...
