He's been entertaining audiences for over sixty years.

Here at 82 in 2012 playing to a knowledgeable French audience, a tune he made his own, first recorded by him in 1958. It's what they came to hear.

More classic jazz, Doghouse!

My dad was an Ahmad Jamal fan. He also liked Monk, Miles, Stan Getz, and many more from the defining era of modern jazz. I never really got into Jamal but love a lot of music from that time and am always on the lookout for jazz I haven't heard before.

The genre is pretty timeless.

Here's a couple of Miles Davis tunes.
This has been used to introduce countless magazine, or current affairs programmes around the world for the last fifty or so years.

Similarly this always gets "rediscovered" for use in nature documentaries., etc.,. has done over the last fifty years too.

Both sound as fresh today as when they were recorded.
