What a statement! Genius. Ahmad ‘s music enters your heart and soul and flows directly through your blood. Had the ultimate privilege of seing him live and meeting him. A prodigious human being.
Nas --- One On One!!! Teedra Moses --- Be Your Girl!!! J Dilla --- Ahmad Impresses Me!!! Gang Starr --- D.J. Premier In Deep Concentration!!! Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth --- It's On You!!! Shadez Of Brooklyn --- Change!!! Freddie Joachim --- Awake!!! Next/Koffee Brown --- Problems!!! Afro Jazz --- La Téci!!! Freddie Joachim/Othello --- Wake Up!!! Tink --- Route 42 To San Fran!!! Hil St. Soul --- Feel Good Factor!!! P.A. --- Poetiful Music!!!
I believe you are looking at the finest jazz trio ever assembled. Some would slide in Verniel Fournier, Israel Crosby, Idris M. etc.--but I really think this is it.
It’s interesting how jazz and hiphop use a lick or riff in almost polar opposite ways: a jazz song often has a million versions/variations on a riff or musical idea (e.g. ahmad jamal’s “i love music”), whereas hiphop singles out the most potent one and repeats it (e.g. “the world is yours”). Its almost like a jazz musician says “why would you just repeat the same moment over and over when there’s so much else to explore?” And a hip hop producer says “why would i use any part of the song except the very best part?”
....By the way, I am looking for "Keep on Trucking", the B-side of Jamal's "MASH Theme "45 RPM. If you had it and uploaded it, this would be truly appreciated. :)

Nice, this is rare, not much footage of AJ from the 70's ....... would love to see him playing the rhodes, but i fear that's asking too much .........
That's not unknown, that's "The Awakening". From the album of the same name.
Updated thanks!

The host is James Earl Jones, better known as the voice of Darth Vader
....By the way, I am looking for "Keep on Trucking", the B-side of Jamal's "MASH Theme "45 RPM. If you had it and uploaded it, this would be truly appreciated. :)
