![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Jamal throughout pulls from Art Tatum, Erroll Garner, as well as his contemporary Ramsey Lewis, whose insights into Jamal and the times they played accentuates the beautiful packaging, as do essays and analysis by Hiromi, Kenny Barron, Jon Batiste, Marshall Chess, Penthouse broadcast engineer Jim Wilke, Feldman, Aaron Diehl and others in the know. Evans' "Bogota" with Nassar on bass for this 3/26/64 gig, snaps and recoils making for a swaying, rhythmic adventure. Cool abides and Johnny Hodges's wild ranging "Squatty Roo" is a fast-paced testament to that. Evans's romping, "Minor Adjustments" rolls from the stage with a spry and wiry minimalism too impossible (or too improbable) to describe. This here is what live jazz, on any given moment of any night in any city or backwater, is and should be. Rodgers & Hart's show tune "Johnny One Note" gets a fierce recalculation as Jamal creates off the cuff, on the spot, in synch to a whole other rascal level of show tune. Riding the frothy crest of the jazz world at the time, Jamal, along with bassist Richard Evans and drummer Chuck Lampkin (Disc 1-2 '63) and bassist Jamil Sulieman Nasser (Disc 3-4 '63) set the fires burning early. Stunning on every possible sensory levelaudio, graphics, liner notes, performanceboth sets (a third set of recordings from the Penthouse, 1966-1968 is planed for future release) simultaneously captures Jamal and his cohorts in hot performance mode and sets them free to be heard like all greats should be: At the top of their game. With the blessing of His Coolness Jamal himself, Grammy-nominated producer and musical gumshoe Zev Feldman christens his new imprint, Jazz Detective, (itself a division of the Feldman-founded Deep Digs Music Group) in high, high fashion he has set as a standard with other crazy good releases by Cannonball Adderley Swingin' In Seattle Live At The Penthouse 1966-67 (Reel to Reel Recordings, 2019) and Bill Evans Some Other Time: The Lost Session From the Black Forest (Resonance Records,2016) just to name two of many.
