Ahmad’s Blues carries a very emotional theme throughout the album. Ivan Grach has compared writing for Ahmad Jamal’s new album to that on ‘Ahmad’s Blues’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Since completing 1994’s ‘Ahmad’s Blues’, Ahmad Jamal fulfilled their contract with Savoy Records and where under no obligation to release another album. Ahmad’s Blues constantly brilliant.
It Could Happen To You have really caught my ear and imagination. I Wish I Knew is a strong cut, one of many. Autumn Leaves - arguably the best track on Ahmad’s Blues album. Stompin’ At The Savoy - This one is lively and fun. Cheek To Cheek is astounding and different song. The Girl Next Door hits the heart. It’s so catchy, it’s amazing. In this song fans will recognize the unique vocals of Ahmad Jamal. This track is clearly meant to showcase Ahmad Jamal’s vocal abilities. Autumn In New York is a medium tempo tune. Such hits like A Gal In Calico will leave you hooked. This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Should I? is another favourite of mine. Seleritus catches attention immediately, A unique and uplifting song.
