    Jamal continues to spin gold from the bench of his baby grand with Blue Moon.

    Sometimes his virtuosity takes Jamal over the top, but this session looks set to be one of his classics.

    Jamal sounds close to his 1950s Chess Records best.

    It's as an impressionist composer that the latterday Ahmad Jamal really excels. Two of these pieces in particular, "Autumn Rain" and "Morning Mist", are quite exquisite.

    One of his most accomplished efforts since his Chess/Impulse! heyday.

    [Blue Moon] could be classified as a highly advanced form of lounge music.
