These four albums cover a scant five years from the beginning of a recording career that began in 1951 and ended in 2019, yet fully illustrate the unique, minimalist style of an artist who was at once dismissed as a cocktail pianist and lauded as an innovator. Born to Baptist parents in 1930, Jamal was exposed to Islam in his late teens in Detroit and converted aged 20, one year before making his first album. So his entire recording career was under his Muslim name, Ahmad Jamal.
Chronologically, the four albums collected here are numbers two, three, four and 13, out of an eventual total of 68. The fact that, apart from Jamal himself, only five other musicians are featured, illustrates his lifelong preference for small groups.
