2	Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing: But Not for Me (1958) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Recorded at the Pershing Club in Chicago, IL, Jamal's third album (including the hit "Poinciana") was the turning point in his career.

3	Cross Country Tour: 1958-1961 (1998) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This two-CD set has highlights from pianist Ahmad Jamal's famous trio dates for Argo, with selections drawn from At the Pershing, At the Pershing Vol. 2, Portfolio of Ahmad Jamal, Alhambra, and At the Blackhawk, plus one selection only out before in a sampler.

4	Priceless Jazz (1998) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Priceless Jazz is a good midline sampler of highlights from Ahmad Jamal's recordings for MCA and GRP. Although this isn't a definitive collection, it offers representative material to make this a good introduction to these recordings for curious listeners on a budget. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide see all copies from £6.94! new only from £8.40!
5	Poinciana [Chess/MCA] (1963) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal "Poinciana" was such a big hit for the Ahmad Jamal Trio that the album Poinciana (recorded just eight months after the original single version) has a remake that served as the title cut. Performed live at the Spotlight Club in Washington D.C., the music features close musical communication between the trio members (who include bassist Israel ... see all copies from £8.88!
6	Live In Concert (2001) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal see all copies from £4.89! new only from £5.58!
7	The Awakening (1970) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal The music on this CD has been reissued many times, most recently in 1997. By 1970, pianist Ahmad Jamal's style had changed a bit since the 1950s, becoming denser and more adventurous while still retaining his musical identity. With bassist Jamil Nasser (whose doubletiming lines are sometimes furious) and drummer Frank Gant, Jamal performs two ... see all copies from £7.52! new only from £7.52!
8	The Legendary Okeh and Epic Recordings (2005) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This collection brings together the early OKeh and Epic recordings of innovative jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal, recorded between 1951 and 1955. Jamal ushered in a new era of melodic improvisation that stood in sharp contrast to bebop's previous innovations. These recordings were all done in trio settings, where the pianist was accompanied by guitarist ... see all copies from £8.30! new only from £8.30!
9	Digital Works (1985) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Ahmad Jamal was never as distinctive on electric piano as he was on the acoustic counterpart, making this two-LP set, Digital Works, (which finds him doubling) a slight disappointment. Jamal does play well throughout, engaging his sidemen (bassist Larry Ball, drummer Herlin Riley, and percussionist Iraj Lashkaryl) in close interplay, but no new ... see all copies from £5.04! new only from £8.39!
10	Olympia 2000 (2001) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Recorded at L'Olympia in Paris shortly after Jamal's 70th birthday, Olympia 2000 features the pianist with his trio mates: James Cammack (bass) and Idris Muhammad (drums). They're joined by tenor saxophonist George Coleman on the first four tracks, which are fairly lengthy readings of standards: "The Night Has a Thousand Eyes," "How Deep Is the ... see all copies from £8.35! new only from £8.35!
11 view cover	Poinciana [Portrait/Columbia] (1951) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This fascinating date features pianist Ahmad Jamal at the beginning of his recording career. With guitarist Ray Crawford and either Eddie Calhoun or Israel Crosby on bass, Jamal showcases a style that would be a major influence on Miles Davis' music. Jamal's use of space and dynamics was very different than the style of any other jazz pianist of ... see all copies from £4.86! new only from £4.86!
12 view cover	Remembering Madison County (1996) more music like this by Various Artists Clint Eastwood, record producer, capitalizes on the most recent film from Clint Eastwood, film director. This disc comprises seven selections from silk-voiced Johnny Hartman, along with two selections from Ahmad Jamal. Low-key pleasure throughout. Steven McDonald, All Music Guide see all copies from £23.86!
13 view cover	Rossiter Road (1986) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Few of pianist Ahmad Jamal's many recordings are not worth picking up, and this effort for Atlantic boasts some fresh material and fine playing. Jamal (joined by bassist James Cammack, drummer Herlin Riley, and percussionist Manolo Badrena) performs seven of his little-known originals and the obscure "Yellow Fellow." The close musical ... see all copies from £3.42! new only from £8.47!
14 view cover	Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival 1985 (1985) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This live concert was released on a 1986 double album, Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival 1985. Pianist Ahmad Jamal and his quartet (which also includes bassist James Cammack, drummer Herlin Riley, and percussionist Selden Newton) dig into three originals, an obscurity, Jack DeJohnette's "Ebony," and a trio of jazz standards (including "Footprints ... see all copies from £3.92! new only from £8.47!
15 view cover	Jazz Showcase (1994) more music like this by Various Artists Count Basie, Dave Brubeck, Slide Hampton, Oscar Peterson and George Shearing make appearances on this Telarc collection. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from £3.15! new only from £5.79!
16 view cover	Crystal (1987) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal There are some magical moments on this quartet set featuring pianist Ahmad Jamal, bassist James Cammack, drummer David Bowles and percussionist Willie White. Jamal's control of dynamics and inventive use of space proved to be as effective as it had been when he first made his mark in the 1950s, although his chord voicings and general style had ... see all copies from £3.34! new only from £8.39!
17 view cover	After Fajr (2005) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Ahmad Jamal leads his long-running trio with electric bassist James Cammack and drummer Idris Muhammad for these 2004 studio sessions. Mixing it up with four standards and five originals, the trio sounds as if they have just completed a several-week tour playing these numbers every night. Jamal begins "I'm Old Fashioned" in a fairly straight-ahead ... see all copies from £4.75! new only from £11.31!
18 view cover	Chamber Music of the New Jazz (1955) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This album is unusual in two ways. Because pianist Ahmad Jamal would soon become famous for his piano/bass/drums trios, it is often forgotten that, up until 1956, his group consisted of bassist Israel Crosby and guitarist Ray Crawford. Crawford's percussive hitting of his guitar would soon be utilized by Herb Ellis in Oscar Peterson's Trio. And, ... see all copies from £6.89! new only from £8.44!
19 view cover	In Search of Momentum (2003) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal A guy who Miles Davis called his favorite piano player, Ahmad Jamal has always earned respect among other musicians and critics for his consistent and innovative five-decade career, but the general public has never celebrated him. Why is anybody's guess, except that he's never been one for self-promotion; he's always been too busy making music to ... see all copies from £8.02! new only from £11.31!
20 view cover	Great Jazz Ballads (1999) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from £18.30! new only from £18.30!
21 view cover	I Remember Duke, Hoagy & Strayhorn (1994) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Ahmad Jamal, in paying tribute to Duke Ellington, Billy Strayhorn, and Hoagy Carmichael, performs nearly every selection on this CD at a very slow tempo. Or at least his sidemen do, since the pianist often plays double-time lines, witty quotes from other songs, and occasional violent outbursts. In general, the music is quite thoughtful and subtle, ... see all copies from £7.39! new only from £8.14!
22	Happy Moods (1960) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal Ahmad Jamal's 1960s trio, with Israel Crosby on bass and Vernell Fournier on drums, was, to some, one of the more influential small groups in jazz. To others, his work was just a mere cut above lounge playing. Recorded almost two years to the day after his most popular trio album At the Pershing, Happy Moods is a program of mostly standards, a ... see all copies from £5.95! new only from £6.83!
23 view cover	Freeflight (1971) more music like this by Ahmad Jamal This CD reissue from the 1971 Montreux Jazz Festival has one of pianist Ahmad Jamal's finest recordings of the early '70s. Performing with bassist Jamil Sulieman Nasser and drummer Frank Gant, Jamal shows that his basic style has evolved since the 1950s but is still quite recognizable. He uses the electric piano as a double for color and stretches ... see all copies from £5.34! new only from £6.97!
24 view cover	Duke Ellington Swings!: The Music of the Duke (1999) more music like this by Various Artists Telarc Jazz's contribution to the Ellington centenary was this engaging compilation, all material from the '90s back catalog, with two notable exceptions. As bait for the complete Dave Brubeck collector, they've thrown in a pair of unreleased tracks left over from the Brubeck Quartet's tour of the U.K. in November 1998: a lengthy exploration of ... see all copies from £4.03! new only from £9.70!
25 view cover	Hit Jazz (1997) more music like this by Various Artists This excellent compilation includes twelve of the best jazz-crossover hits of the 1960s and '70s, including "The Sidewinder" by Lee Morgan, "Moanin" by Art Blakey, "Walk on the Wild Side" by Jimmy Smith, "Song for My Father" by Horace Silver and "The 'In' Crowd" by Ramsey Lewis.
