I love this rendition. I want to request that advertisements not be inserted into the middle of the music. It is truly a rude interruption and frankly makes me feel more like avoiding the products advertised than using them.
You need CZcams Premium for that.
@@perfectbeat worth every penny.
Agreed --- go premium, wonderful

What a huge loss! 😢
The world will always be greatful and happy to witness what you ever created to our music Ahmad!
Rest in Peace Lord Jamal! 🕊️
I can't believe he is 87 !!! He plays the piano so awesome and elegantly. No signs of arthritis in his hands. What a blessing. He looks like he is in his mid 60's.
I agree! He looked decades younger as a mature man. I've read that pianists rarely develop arthritis in their hands/fingers precisely because they use their hands so much. "Use it or lose it!"
😮わたしもそう思う🎉
He was a dear friend of my mother who I was privileged to meet and see live on a few occasions. Truly one of the most astoundingly skilled musicians I have ever witnessed. The communication on stage between Ahmad Jamal and the musicians he played with was supernatural. The absolutely true, and pure love that flowed from the piano out to the audiences I was part of flowed out, and over, and around us with a harmonic embrace of warmth, and taste, and care and so much more. He treated his friendship with my mom in the same way. He was simply the embodiment of the divine music he created. There are no real words to explain. I have never encountered another musician who exuded the magic of this genius and kind, gracious, amazing soul.
Beautiful words. Well spoken.
Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful experience with Ahmad.
Thank You for those kind words...
💜
Aaah Man, This is just too fine....In 2020 who is here?
Me ! :-)
and me! :)
and Me! :-) .....but now its 2021
2021 me!
Me ! :) 2024
I love when musicians genuinely have fun while performing on stage , it adds another dimension to the music
It is THE litmus test of real music: Do they enjoy themselves (without drugs)? (Or are they only posing?)
Callum Moodley it takes you on a journey with the musicians when their is pure joy and fun going on. It’s contagious and it spreads throughout the audience until it’s at a Hugh pitch of “funtastic “ Joy!
Agreed! If you watch old Live shows of Dave Brubeck Quartet... Dave just has a smile from ear to ear as he watches Paul play... or whoever he is turning to watch while they do their thing... can't help but smile seeing that.. You can tell its a genuine smile too... Just enjoying the hell out of what they are doing
Ahh, when the musicians are having fun, the energy is infectious. Oh, how I miss true musical artistry.
thanks for that - and these guys do it across the stage and thru the house. At the end when Ahmad is laughing and crying - made me cry too
Another genius! Slipped through this life without many even knowing he ever existed. Just one of the greatest pianists of all time. Thank you Ahmad.
I was fortunate to marry a woman who had an Ahmad Jamal record in her collection back in the sixties. We're still happily married and here I am with the rest of y'all, just sitting back and enjoying it all. Thank you, Ahmad Jamal. Yeah, we still have that 55 year old record.
Hope you're still kickin', bass bro!
@@BassByTheBay Thanks. I actually took my bass out of its corner and "tested" all of its notes. Sadly, two of my trumpet player friends are gone and a drummer, the trombone player. We are all like the leaves on a tree when winter comes, only temporary. Keep playing.
The coolest 87 year old on the planet!!!
Muy. Padre
For sure!!! The guys looks so vital and healthy. Amazing!
No question.
Yes!
Loves the applause and to take his bows, doesn't he. What a narcissist....
Ahmad Jamal: the master of elegant restraint...Thank you for all your beautiful music, and for doing it into your 90's! RIP ❤ 🎶. I can still remember my dad playing "Live at the Pershing " 60 yrs ago (!) and "Poinciana" clear as can be. It's like time travel!
crazy my man was 87 in this video and still working them keys!!!!!!!
The great Ahmad Jamal 🌹1930-2023 and thank you. RIP 💗🎼🎶
I was lucky enough to hear lawns played by Carla’s final trio at Blue Smoke just before Covid closed the club down & just before her passing. Rip Carla…. thanks for this & a lifetime of beautiful, original music.
THE FIRST 90 SECONDS OPENED THE STARGATE. PURE MAGIC. LEGEND.
RIP Ahmad et merci pour ta musique , bellissima musica !😎
This is probably the greatest version of Autumn Leaves I've ever heard!
Descance en paz Sr. Ahmad Jamal 🌹1930-2023 y gracias. 💗🎼🎶
I saw this wonderful man in concert 10 years ago (Feb.2013) in France. The whole theatre was hushed as he played; in reverence it seemed. And no wonder. RIP.
Thank you for your outstanding and excellent music Ahmad! You will not be forgotten. Rest Brother Ahmad Jamal!
Blessed is the man who loves what he does. At time he looks like he just discovered something new and the joy in his face is priceless. The whole band is just a joy to watch.
I am from India and we were taught that with music one can reach the Devine. Sir my Namaskarms to you. You are indeed blessed by the Devine and hence already chosen to be with the Devine. I am sure as per our tradition the performers not only reach the Devine but also help other to reach devine. You have done that sir. My Namaskarms to you. 🙏
Ahmad Jamal is going to be 90 on July 2!!!! Such an amazing pianist.
I'm going to celebrate - we need some joy in 2020!
Weldon Hunter - yes!!!! Cheers to good music, good people and good times! 🎶👏🏻😍
This is life! Takes the wind out of your lungs and and then breaths new air back into you!
Yes indeed. New life I get when I see my old friend Ahmad.
Jazz is life indeed.
I love the fact that at 3:42 he was able to throw in a quote from "Stolen Moments", fitting it perfectly into the phrasing. And he looks at his bassist, and smiles. I learned by version of "Stolen Moments" listening to his version, long ago.
Oh dude that part was really cool! I love when musicians put in these little easter eggs in their performances
he also cites Bach 9:12
I hear several references to the album "the Awakening". Loved hearing all of them, as they sound like Ahmad!
I heard just a drifting of 'Stolen Moments' and I'm sure the man in 1958 did his own design. Thank You.
Dean Jackson
+1 brother. Great catch
This blonde girl sat mesmerized in 1972 absorbing Jamal at the invitation of his drummer, Frank Gant. I was 21. My first exposure to advanced piano jazz. The city was San Francisco.
What was the name of the club?
RIP Maestro !
Ahmad Jamal....a gifted & talented artist! I love his music and will listen it for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace and thank you for all of the joy, love, hope, warmth and serenity your music has brought to me and millions around the world🎹🎼🎶🎵♥🤍💛💙💚💜🧡
Roger Williams did his take on this tune. He did it formally. And then he did it good. Not too bad being good and provocative, yes indeed.
Ahmad Jamal took me to another place with this classic tune.
Thank You
Dean

I first heard Jamal in 1957 and instantly liked him and have seen him perform two other times between now and then. I wonder if he has found the fountain of youth.
I saw Ahmad Jamal one year at the Detroit Jazz Festival and could hardly wait to hear my fave. Poinciana. Ahmad RIP.
Ann Marie Adkins-Jackson
I have played this almost a thousand times (really) but tonight I was saddened deeply by the news of the the passing of Ahmad and wish i could have seen him perform live.
Rest in peace ahmad Jamal sad lost to the jazz world. Impeccable pianist a legend Condolences to ahmads family.
The man, the myth, the legend !! Ladies and gentleman, Mr Ahmad Jamal !!
Ahmad Jamal is amazing!👏🙌🎹
He and his entire band is off the chart on this one!! It's like Ahmad's fingers are instruments on each key...genius!! Love the percussion jam.....ahhhhhhhhh...........awesome!!!!!
magnifique !
My mother started me at a young age listening to jazz and Ahmad Jamal was one of the first of many I listened to and loved!❤️
My mom started me on Billy Taylor and Errol Garner (she dated Billy Taylor)
Me too, my father jazz educated me I have all his records. Ahmad Jamal, Movin Wes, LesMccann, Jonah Jones, Heath bros, Ornette Coleman, Nancy Wilson, Frank Sinatra, Stan Kent, Theolonious, Quartet Tres Bien, Duke, Jimmy Smith, Jazz Crusaders & on it goes..
Yes! My dad was a jazz fan and I remember as a little kid hearing his record collection: Stan Getz, Ahmad Jamal, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Dave Brubeck and several other greats. I still love them today.
Ya'll lucky kids!!
Did she name you after him?
OMG - this is SO beautiful, so moving to see Mr. Jamal having fun, being recognized, while performing the tasty jazz he's been producing for seven decades. Gorgeously filmed and presented - thank you so much, and RIP dear brother Ahmad!
The most underrated jazz pianist of all time :(
It ain't just Autumn Leaves falling baby, he's blown the whole forest down!
R.I.P.
You were one of the BEST.
Awesome. Ahmad is just awesome. A lifetime of jazz in his fingertips
This is pure magic! The feeling of absolute freedom of thought and the ability to perform what he has in mind - this is mindblowing!
He has played "Autumn Leaves" in a Latin beat since the early Fifties. He plays with this group* since the mid Eighties. This is the purest Jazz tradition in the hands of the Ahmad Jamal Quartet!!
*AJ (P), James Cammack (B), Herlin Rilley (D), Manolo Bandrena (D)
Thanks for the info - that means I that the only time I saw him live, back in 2006, he had Cammack on bass and Rilley on bass & drums respectively. But my recollection is that there was no percussion on that particular it was just piano trio.
@@egyptianminor Manolo Badrena was with Joe Zawinul band at that time czcams.com/video/OH1IP-YLbCM/video.html
That song was SO POPULAR in the 50's done classically. I discovered Jamal about that time and have probably listened to every cut on uTube over and over, never tiring of any!! His 'genius' is never predictable with the perfect harder crescendo in the best, unexpected places. His group is so in tune with him, all super talents as well. No showboats in that amazing put-together team!! I would love to see a 'live' practice just to see how they do all that!! I also am a little older and thanks to loving this type of music still have not too bad of a hearing loss (I think- ha).
Bandrena ex Wheather Report master!
Great musician, great showman, great person. "Well done, good and faithful servant!"
What amazes me is how well the communication flows among these musicians.
Great shots pov.. their hands are fascinating as they play.. they vibin'🤌🏾
Ahmad Jamal, is simply the don of music for me- a creative spirit being unleashed in all its magnificence! The fusion of the African heartbeat, the tantalising breeze and inherent complexity of Jazz and classical inflexions floats my boat big time! Thank you, brother, Ahmad Jamal! Genius!
CLEARLY, The BEST VESION OF A COOL IMPROVISED AUTUMN LEAVES... Professor Ahmad Jamal IS A like a Master Chef on THE IVORY KEYS!!! LOVE his CHORDS and USE of CHORDS!!! Probably the best I've heard at IMPLEMENTING Great Jazz Chords to compliment a beautiful Theme... Folks, this is Textbook Chord USE, not too much, certainly not too little, just perfect, just right... The Bass-man, Percussion and Drums are BOSS MEN on their AXES too... Carry ON Professor!!! -Percy C. Payne 4/15/19.
Bass, Percussion, Drums are exactly what he wants and it has been a beautiful ride...
This cat’s special. Thanks for everything over the years.
Simply brilliant...nothing else matters when Ahmad Jamal plays like that...i think i held my breath troughout that piece...
........My good friend Jim on the bass.......................True and Smooth.........Thank you Sir James.
My man -- the one and only Ahmad Jamal! He is the master of "I played it best but can still do better"! I love how he can take something familiar and put a new spin on it.
....and do so with a notes and spaces ! His version of Poinciana is sublime. Same muso's.
czcams.com/video/SiARr9JhLEo/video.html
I played Poinciana every day for a year...could not let it go.
That's how I grew up..Piano, Bass and Drums the only thing that's missing is a Tenor Sax.
Blondy
In 2020...I am HERE!! It gets no better than this!
I'm speechless so I'm writing this empty comment, bravo
I saw him back in 1976 in vancouver, canada and he is playing as strong and in incredible health as he was back then. What great artist!
7:43
Simply put,Ahmad Jamal is a bad man on keys. That was a superb performance 🎹🎶🎵🎼👏🏾👏🏾
My jazz band in Nashville played this song last school year. I loved playing it then, I love playing it now. This is personally one of the best versions.
Ahmad Jamal is ELEGANT, a master and a joyous soul.
Masterclass by a grand piano master -90 years young soon ! July 2020)
Ahmad Jamal is a player who puts his soul, great joy and command into his playing. Very inspiring! His colorings are masterful.
un régal à écouter et à voir! j'adore cette version tout et tous ......encore plus les percu waouh! merci du partage! et de moment de pur bonheur!!!
My first time hearing this person play, I was 8 years old and my cousin had the Album" Ahmad Jamal Live at the Pershing" his songs were "Poinciana, " "But not for me", Moonlight in Vermont" and a few more , from then I was hooked unto Jazz!!
that drummer save is godly.........
Sounds like a little breeze of fresh air with a slight scent of jasmin under the moonlight
Beautifully said! Thanks!
Jazzmin, you mean :)
@@AndreasDelleske :) nice one
Why do we find beauty in Music, here the answer ! Thank you so much Ahmad Jamal and his band, wonderful break !
I just did a google on him to see if he was still alive. Man,, is he ever!! He still has that rythmic trademark stamp on his tunes. Must get more Jamal!
No longer touring but just put out a new album??
Quelle delice pour l'oreille tous ces grands musiciens, l'arrangement est juste parfait. Evidemment le ❤ de ce Magnifique moment musical le Grandiose Ahmad JAMAL. Merciiiiiii pour ce delice & RIP Maestro
Bravo! 👋👋👋👋👋
Mr. A. J.,
He was my 'sanity' in an insane😫 world of Southeast Asia. Still Cool and Smooth as Silk😎
When you've got it, you've GOT IT! Ahmad, you are pure GENIUS on the piano!!🌹
Had the very distinct pleasure to hear him live in Toronto 20+ years ago.
The way that he holds space and time in his music is simply a wonder to behold. I am at once edified, encouraged, illumined and inspired by the musical offering of this master. His phrasing from 9:08-9:46 transports me to the very best of places.
Gratitude Mr.Jamal.
If I'm not mistaken, he quotes Bach's Tocatta and Fugue in D Minor during the phrase you highlighted.
Thanks I’ll take a listen….
Didn’t hear it. Blessing.
Perfect! playing!!!!
It technically is hard - look on the fingers!!
And yes, beautifully melody !
60 yrs. of memories, thank you Ahmad.
Ahmad Jamal has been making fall even more in love with Jazz music so much tonight just something about his style of playing is different to me
This brother is as smooth as silk!!!
YT has had this in my recommended vids for almost a year. Wow! My mind is gone...When he started playing Stolen Moments, lost it! I'm gonna go get his last album and see what else is there. I've know his name for quite a while but never heard him play. Glad I listened this morning, what great song to start your day off with!
Ahmad Jamal is one of my favorite pianists of all time!
Thanks for all the great music and memories.

Interprétation de génie, raffinée, les feuilles mortes vivent plus que jamais sous les doigts de Ahmad Jamal, puissante improvisation....
Mille ****** / Ahmad Jamal
So intricate, so graceful, so full and rich with perfect percussions. Thank you Ahmad Jamal forever for your work.

American Classical MUSIC - The Master. I've had the pleasure and honor of being ringside once in my life.
Only Ahmad Jamal appears with a work like this with Autumn Leaves and the beauty of it all is he gives freedom to his percussion and he seems to flow with those guys. Very cool.
Cool stage + awesome lighting + great sound system work
que c'est beau le jazz ! merci ahmad tu etais un grand
All working together! Loved it!
Love him so much! Hoping to see a live performance this year!
The best of the best. Thank you for so much beauty.
Made my day!!
Great to see him playing after I had seen him live 7 years ago in CA festival. Really has all the nuances of his career.
I love his work very talented!!!
This is honestly the first time in about 15 years that I've actually _enjoyed_ a rendition of Autumn Leaves 😊.
ha ha. too many uninspired jam session versions? or wedding band gigs? maybe listen to the live Coltrane version that's on CZcams.
@@MarkTarmannPianoCheck_it_out Yeah 😀. I've heard a few great versions, but they're dwarfed by the number of lifeless/soulless versions I've heard (including some uninspired jams... that I participated in 😁). It's great when you hear someone really give it a new spin that feels fresh/inspired.
Nice seeing him again and still active. I think of him from time to time... "Manhattan Reflections" and the "Awakening" albums were my favorites as a teen.
Artist and showman!! A genius!
This man has been in my D&A for 70 short years...I was 10 the first time I listened to his music. Do I have a favorite.... All are mine
paul wilkes I to was around 10 when my Mom introduced me to the music of Ahmad Jamal!
My wife and I named our son Ahmad in honor of Ahmad Jamal
Amazing talent and skills. He is playing the piano like washing laundry. Those fingers! Wow!
Amazing!
Thanks, another jazz channel and I like your angle of coverage.
Great Autumn Leaves interpretation.
Tellement géniale, cette interprétation!
Oh dear, I don’t have the words to describe how much I love this
Incredible. I've always loved his work. Amazing. One of the finest artists ever born.
