Released in 1995 to immediate acclaim, this Ahmad Jamal album was a revitalising force in jazz because of the way it broke free from the mimicry of young pianists trying to emulate greats like McCoy Tyner, Bill Evans or Herbie Hancock. Perhaps his finest work of the decade, Jamal is surrounded by a trusted rhythm sectionof James Cammack, Jamil Nasser and Idris Muhammad alongside Manolo Badrena on percussion and underrated tenor saxophonist George Coleman. The album showcases Jamal's percussive touch, fluid dynamics and exquisite finesse while revealing a pianist at ease and able to play in the moment, brightly, with real energy. Each note confirms his singular voice and goes a long way to cementing his status as a jazz legend.
