With James Cammack on bass and Herlin Riley on drums—this is a classic. I bought all the Argo stuff in mono original pressings over a 5 year period, I'll be damned if I can name a favorite, I love it all. If you enjoy the sweet sound of rhodes, check out his "Ahmad Jamal '73".

Not best of his works, but still pretty interesting imo. Chamber music of the new jazz. Love the guitar on this record, Ahmad makes them sound so full just as a trio. Gonna add Jamalca to this. It's an album of covers of then contemporary hits but it's awesome to hear Ahmad's interpretations of them.
