Ahmad Jamal Trio - What's New 1959

The 1958 live recording At the Pershing: But Not for Me by the Ahmad Jamal trio is without a doubt one of the finest moments of history ever recorded. Amongst the cuts on the album, the one most played in my home is "What's New." There has never been a more soulful handling of this arrangement. Hear for yourself:

Ahmad Jamal – Piano
Israel Crosby - Double bass
Vernel Fournier - Drums
