One more from Ahmad Jamal, still back in the 50s, but now in '59. Love his right hand in this; it's limber, light (except when it isn't), and swinging like crazy.

Ahmad Jamal - Dialogue
lucythegiant
Ahmad Jamal passed away on April 16th. Jazz Journal has an informative obituary.
John White in Jazz Journal. Obituary: Ahmad Jamal
Some saw Jamal as a genius of musical drama, others of melodrama, a supper-club pianist purveying nearly definitive musical bombast
I was a bit surprised by the criticism of melodrama, perhaps that’s because Pittsburgh loves to claim Ahmad Jamal so criticism is out.
This is album has not been released on CD and is a collector’s item.

AHMAD JAMAL: "People get after me because I say there's no such thing as a creative person. This business of - we don't create a fly or a raindrop or a snowflake, but we can reflect creativity. And when we reflect creativity, we discover. And that's the whole thing about life - discovery. And that's what I live for - discovery."
RIP - 1930-2022
(Ahmad Jamal)

Ahmad Jamal was a genius. I think there is now a general consensus about this, although it took a while for take hold. That Miles loved him probably helped, although the minimalism he's famous for also came across as being a little out of step with what was happening in 50s jazz. "Poinciana" is a famously long song to have been a hit; amusingly, it's basically twice as long as anything else on "At The Pershing." It doesn't feel long, though, instead feeling kind of economical (along with feeling groovy and feeling good).
