Ahmad JAMAL - Jamal At The Penthouse 1959

Ahmad JAMAL - Jamal At The Penthouse 1959
Recorded at Nola Penthouse Studios, New York on February 27 - 28, 1959

Jazz

This LP was a change of pace for pianist Ahmad Jamal, whose trio (with bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Vernell Fournier) is joined by a 15-piece string section arranged and conducted by Joe Kennedy. The interpretations are generally pretty, but with enough variety to hold one's interest. Among the nine selections are Hoagy Carmichael's "Ivy," "Tangerine," "Ahmad's Blues" and "I Like to Recognize the Tune."
