Emerald City Nights: Live at the Penthouse 1966-1968 Ahmad Jamal (Jazz Detective)

Emerald City Nights: Live at the Penthouse 1966-1968 Ahmad Jamal (Jazz Detective)

The vast archive of tapes that Jim Wilke recorded at the Penthouse in Seattle in the ‘60s has yielded many historic discoveries. The three double-disc sets by the pianist Ahmad Jamal released on Zev Feldman’s Jazz Detective label are among the most important. They contain music from eleven nights, spanning five years and four different trios. The third (and final) volume comes from the years 1966-1968, and it will always occupy a special place in the heart of this reviewer. The reason is personal: he was there.
