I saw him many times. He was the greatest piano player, and probably greatest musician I ever saw, except for Oscar Peterson.

Jamal's real name is Frederick Russell Jones. He's another one like Kweisi Mfume, Muhammad Ali, et al.

"Jamal" [sic] was very talented nonetheless.

Our fault as Christians - if we were doing our job we wouldn’t lose them.

Count on it. There’s only one cause of death.

Poinciana (Live At The Pershing, Chicago, 1958)

I think this was the first song I heard by him.

Very true. We aren't doing something right. Heck, we aren't doing a lot of things right.

In 1967, I was with a small audience at Basin St West when Jamal invited us to sit by his piano down front. It was a great experience. He ocasionally reached one hand into the grand and strummed chords as he played.

It was an unforgettable experience. He was a virtuoso in every sense of the word.⁰

After a few years in the medical field that’s what I used to think, but learning from FR’s experts has made the diagnostic process much simpler. /s
