Description
Fresh off the release of their previous work #Tenorio, 45trio is already announcing a new project. This album was created as a tribute to Ahmad Jamal. Side A, "#Jamal," pays homage to Jamal's signature use of space and rhythmic breathing while captivating listeners with 45trio's distinctive groove and meticulous musicianship.
Minimalist yet rich in resonance, the piano, tight and funky drums, and jazzy, danceable bass paint Jamal's musical spirit through 45trio's unique lens.
Side B features a cover of "I Love Music," one of the most famous sources in sampling history. 45trio carefully interprets Jamal's lifelong "deep love for melody" with their own distinctive approach. As with their previous work, they express their respect for Ahmad Jamal by deliberately placing an original track and a cover on the same record. This powerful yet profound tribute is the culmination of 45trio's relentless musical exploration and their respect for the artists who have influenced them.
