JAMAL,AHMAD - AHMAD JAMAL '73 (VERVE VAULT SERIES) Vinyl LP

Expected: 10/9/26

On  Ahmad Jamal '73 , one of jazz's most acclaimed small-group pianists traded in his most familiar instrument for something with a new spin, recording his first of seven studio works for the 20th Century label from behind the electric piano. Backed by an expanded orchestra arranged and conducted by album co-producer Richard Evans, the ensuing album merges familiar jazz traditions with the sound of a new era, pairing Jamal's leads with massive string, vocal, and horn arrangements on versions of then-current soul-funk hits (Stevie Wonder's "Superstition," War's "The World Is a Ghetto") and spiritual jazz and funk numbers ("Sustah, Sustah," "Peace at Last").

The Verve Vault series is all-analog, cut from the original master tapes by Ryan K. Smith at Sterling Sound and pressed on 180-gram vinyl.
