Thanks. I was just going to look him up on the internet to see if he was still with us. I first "discovered" him on a vinyl 33.3 rpm record 50 years ago and played it and played it and played it. Still have it. He's one of the best things to happen to music. Just discovered we were each born within 20 miles of each other but he was first.
@@TheGlass50 People need music. Everyone. Years ago I arrived at work and my deaf printing press operator had his earbuds stuck in his ears, listening to music. I started laughing and said, "You can't hear!" He could read my lips and he was laughing too. I guess he was able to feel some of the vibrations. We worked well together. I think that was about 30 years ago.
Damn. Hate to say it :( rip sir. This is probably my favourite jazz clip/song on youtube. He’s swinging so hard and surrounded by legends. I am an utmost fanatic of bebop, but there’s no other pianist like him. His music helped me tremendously in the pandemic as well. Rest easy sir.
@@bluepikmin6976 - How nice. Thanks for connecting. What do you say to a rendering such as this? I seem to recollect that Ahmad Jamal was the reason given by Keith Jarrett for starting to play jazz piano. But, of course, this clip is beyond reason. So light - it makes your inner world elated - like Art Tatum who always leaves me feeling, well, merry. All the best - Lawrence (in Austria)
@@lawrencebrazier1894 hello from the US! I'm not a musician and don't know much about the inner workings of jazz but I keep coming back to this video because the song is, to your mention, light but it has lots of memorable sections. Here's what I mean - the initial section from 00:31 to 00:38 is a short little run that I just really like hearing. When I first watched this video, a similar run is repeated at 1:12 to 1:18. It happens again 1:54 - 1:58 but a bit different, then returns 3:24 - 3:30 and 4:20. I'm not sure what the musical terminology is for something that is repeated (albeit a bit different each time). To give you another example, I really like Pannonica from Chick Corea's Now He Sings, Now He Sobs. I'll link it here ua-cam.com/video/dRqcobYcDoc/v-deo.html Listen to these three sections: 00:27 - 00:35 00:58 - 1:07 1:23 - 1:30 1:40 - 1:50 Overall though, if I could simplify, there's many small short sections in jazz songs that I keep coming back to, but rather than jumping to a point in a video, I do like listening to the entire thing. Cheers to music!
@@bluepikmin6976 Good day to you JS - thanks for the timings you sent. I find it a good idea to hear some vocal versions of something I like. Darn That Dream has been sung by just about everyone. A recent Chic Corea purchase is with the sensational Hiromi. The double CD is called "Duet". All the best - L
Broadcast from CBS Studio 61, housed at the Monroe Theatre at 1456 First Avenue, at East 76th Street, this 1959 episode of Jazz from Sixty-One featured a live performance of "Darn That Dream" by Ahmad Jamal and his trio. Pianist Ahmad Jamal (1930-2023) was accompanied by Israel Crosby (1919-1962) on bass, and Vernel Fournier (1928-2000) on drums. Also visible in the video are other luminaries who performed that evening, including tenor saxophonist Ben Webster, pianist Hank Jones, bassist George Duvivier, drummer Jo Jones, trumpeter Buck Clayton and trombonist Vic Dickenson. The show's consultant, Nat Hentoff, can be is seen nodding to the music with a pipe in his mouth and his wife next to him.
3:04 Ben Webster enjoying the incredible swing of the trio. Its amaizing the way Ahmad come up with beautiful melodies, and also the riffs are nice. Great recording!
Who are the other cats standing aroung the trio? The man smoking the pipe may be one of the famous jazz impressarios whose name I'm not sure about now. Norman Granz? Because this is like a Jazz at the Phiharmonic stuff. Although Granz didn't have a beard, did he? Thank you anyway!
This recording should be sent to the cosmos next time mankind decides to send a magnificent hello to any alien out there. It displays genius. Jamal's tone, harmony, groove, dynamics, etc is like an entire orchestra. The music evolves so organically, like a symphony covering a wide array of motives, sections, textures, etc, etc. Mr. Ahmad Jamal, it is sad you left this planet, but your contribution to our planet is eternal.
Ahmad Jamal: Lovely, sensitive and drug free music performed with complete, understated authority even with the giants of jazz peering over your shoulder!
All the cats taking it in buck Clayton,Hank Jones,George duviveau,and the "FROG" himself BiG BEN WEBSTER, so many great players the gentleman with the pipe is nat hentoff the jazz critic
Wonddrful performance. A great example of "less is more". Amongst the spectators: Hank Jones, Buck Clayton, George Duvivier, a very stoned-looking Ben Webster, Jo Jones and Nat Hentoff with his pipe and beard.
Saw Ahmad on Mother’s Day in 1958 or 59. His mom was in the audience and he and she were given a standing ovation. Carnegie Music Hall Pittsburgh PA. He was skinny and great.
So happy I’ve seen this. His playing is so smooth and cool similar to Miles and the trumpet. He should be ranked in the top 10 of all time. I watch this everyday for the last two weeks, the man in the audience at the end of the song sums up his playing with that look of confidence and amazement. Can’t get enough of his playing 5+ stars…..Thank you AJ
If you’re referring to the balding man with mustache, that’s drummer Papa Jo Jones; the man with the dark hat is tenor saxophonist Ben Webster; the man closest to him is pianist Hank Jones; and the man with the beard and pipe is Jazz critic/writer Bat Hentoff.
Another the great living jazz maestro has left us on jazz planet at his age. His muzik legacy will remain. May his soul rest peacefully on this Ramadan Kareem. Aamiin.
This is SOOOOOOO incredibly performed and remastered!! WELL-DONE job!! This was the year I graduated from high school in Ky. I was a dancer and LOVED his music that lit my dancing shoes! He sounds as good now as then!!
one of the greatest to ever do it! I was blessed to see MR Ahmad Jamal in several different countries and he alway put on an amazing show! He was my favorite musician, I will miss him dearly. RIP...
This is a very sad day for me. My wife is still in bed(early Sat morn) May 20 it’s raining outside just melancholy morning. Well he was wonderful, and I loved him from the start. That pearl of an LP “At The Pershing Lounge” he put out in 59’ that did it for me. Muhammad that was a beautiful thing you said, and I feel the same. Holy God , Holy immortal one, have mercy on the soul of Ahmad and on us all.
What a genius---He and Bill Evans are outstanding and have a way of eliciting that special vibe within me whenever I hear them play. I love how he sometimes concentrates on the keys at the right side of the keyboard.
What a legacy Jamal is going to leave us with. If nothing else, and there is SO MUCH MORE, there is the value of space and silence -- something so lost on so many who try so hard to bully us with amazing technique over construction and dynamics.
This early Ahmad Jamal Trio was one of my all-time-favorites. I loved his "LIVE at the Pershing" recordings in Chicago on the Cadet or Chess label (?). Although I'm a guitarist, Ahmad's trio and arrangements were very inspiring to me - still are!
@frednormanguitarist6603 ...BUT NOT FOR ME: AHMAD JAMAL AT THE PERSHING was originally released in mono (Argo LP-628) on June 4th, 1958. It was later released in stereo (Argo LPS-628) on December 30th, 1960. You probably were born when this classic LP was reissued on the Cadet label in 1965. The late, great Ahmad Jamal had a tremendous influence on Miles Dewey Davis III. The former also had such a tremendous impact on McCoy Tyner, Herbie Hancock, et al. The list is endless.
I feel blessed to have seen you at the Detroit Jazz Fest a few years back. Left quite the impression on my ears, and then to see you were doing it in your early 20’s, just amazing!
I always wondered why Ahmad Jamal played this song happy when everyone else plays it sad. The lyrics of darn that dream sound like they are coming from a very sad, and down individual but I guess if you were to view the individual as a person who’s so delusional that they are happy about dreaming about unrequited love then playing it happy like this makes sense.
Looks like Nat Hentoff (cat with the pipe) and his main squeeze for the date digging the scene. A host of other luminaries are present as well. The great and grand Hank Jones, starting from Ahmad's left on the piano and Ben Webster about mid way around, 'Papa Joe' Jones, etc. Can you find and identify more? Let us know.

A masterclass about dynamics and atmosphere control in jazz. Loving it from Argentine.
so true
RIP Ahmad - thanks for all the music and teachings you left us… 😢
RIP to a Jazz Legend. 🎹
Sadly he has just died at 92 years young rip the legend that was Ahmed.this track epitomises all that was great about the man.Boy could he swing!
Saw Ahmad on Mother’s Day in 1958 or 59. His mom was in the audience and he and she were given a standing ovation. Carnegie Music Hall Pittsburgh PA. He was skinny and great.
the piano articulation is so crisp and the timing is perfect, the melody is in-the-pocket. SO SWEET! SO SWINGING!
You are 18% cooler for listening to this❤
RIP Ahmad Jamal. Eternal cool cat.

Actually Miles did in fact say it, how he really dug Ahmad’s style.
R.I.P. Ahmad. Genius is too small a term for you and what you created for us.
Ahmad was my favorite of all time! Breaks my heart he's gone
Rest in peace to a master.
The culture needs to get back to this.
Agree
PURE, ABSOLUTE, UNADAULTERATED, MUSIC. TRUTH FROM THE SPIRIRT OF THE HEART.
Beautiful rendition ❤ RIP. Thankyou for upload
Absolutely beautiful.. Its like he just sits there and receives the inspiration and it comes out his fingertips ❤
RIP AHMAD

Did I see Coleman? RIP Ahmad.
