Review by Scott Yanow
This LP (not yet reissued on CD) was pianist Ahmad Jamal's first with his new group, a trio also including bassist Israel Crosby and drummer Walter Perkins. Although he was reasonably popular around the Chicago area at the time, Jamal's major breakthrough would be the following album, But Not for Me, recorded more than a year later. The "Jamal sound," with its expert use of dynamics, close interplay, space and subtle surprises was very much in place, and this out-of-print set is on the same level as his better-known hits to come. Highlights include "Green Dolphin Street," "How About You" and "Easy To Remember." Well worth searching for.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este LP (aún no reeditado en CD) fue el primero del pianista Ahmad Jamal con su nuevo grupo, un trío que también incluía al bajista Israel Crosby y al baterista Walter Perkins. Aunque era razonablemente popular en la zona de Chicago en ese momento, el mayor avance de Jamal sería el siguiente álbum, But Not for Me, grabado más de un año después. El "sonido Jamal", con su experta utilización de la dinámica, la estrecha interacción, el espacio y las sutiles sorpresas, estaba muy presente, y este conjunto descatalogado está al mismo nivel que sus éxitos más conocidos. Destacan "Green Dolphin Street", "How About You" y "Easy To Remember". Merece la pena buscarlo.
