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.

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

I have one of his vinyl LPs I bought in ‘62-’63. Great music.
I had 14 years of classical piano so had an appreciation for his music.
