Ahmad Jamal

I was a pre teen in the 1960s. The older teenagers heard me practicing piano, the typical classics, and yelled from the side walk Pat play some Ahmad Jamal. I had no idea as to who they were talking about, so I went to the record store, and oh my god, I found out who Ahmad Jamal was. I still study Ahmad Jamal, his music quiets my style.

May god continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this difficult period of time.

Lovely artists. I love his music. May Jehovah bless his doings and comfort your hearts. Philippians 4:6-7!

My condolences to this great musical talent. You inspired me as a musician and artist. May your soul be at rest. Praying for family and friends

The Music World lost another Jazz Giant. I remember, as a teenager listening to his albums as I was being introduced to Jazz. I got to see him in concert once, and he did not disappoint. Rest easy my brother....your music & legacy will live on.

Dearest Ahmad and family. As a young girl I´d take that big steam train into New York to visit my Aunt . It was the 50s and my Aunt was to sing at Carnegie.We were all musicians. One night , somewhere in an underground cafe , my sister and I sat entranced listening to The Ahmad . Mother had his first vinyls, so I was more than excited. That night struck a chord in me, and as I was swept out into the very late night , I knew what I had experienced felt deeper than when Louis met me at The Melody Tent. So with my most heart felt love I want to say thank you Ahmad for understanding how some of us tick and creating a soundscape that lives in us forever. You brought us to the mountain and gave us cooling waters, you brought us through the valleys for comfort and rest.

Peace and Blessings toYou, and your Family!

Truly an amazing pianist, his music is an incredible legacy that so many will continue to enjoy. Sincerest sympathies to the Jamal family, so very sorry for your loss, may God be with you all to help you in your time of loss.

You will be remembered in the jazz world.

Was a regular on the jazz music scene.

"My deepest sympathy goes out to the family, friends, colleagues and neighbors on the passing of the beloved Ahmad. I enjoyed his performances."
