"Ahmad approaches each song as a composition in itself. He doesn't allow the groove to become stagnant. He'll go into an interlude that changes the mood and then he'll go out of the interlude into a different groove that's even more swinging than the first was. He always gives the impression of having something in reserve. 'Don't shoot everything in one tune and play 50 choruses or it'll all sound the same,' he told me."
By Julian "Cannonball" Adderley.

Jamal's colorful harmonic perception has been too often overlooked. He characteristically builds parallel and contrary motion lines that move in and out of chordal substitutions and alterations that would probably frighten pianists of less harmonic senstivity...In his use of pedalpoint ostinato interludes as a method by which to build and release energized musical tension, Jamal has brought the bass and drums into an independent but highly functional role in his conception of the piano trio. He has always been one of jazz's foremost exponents of good songs."
Don Heckman, L.A. Times.
