Movie Reviews of Ahmad Jamal: Live in Baalbeck
Movie Review: Simply Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
When one thinks of great Jazz performances, Live in Baalbeck should rank right at the top. It's not everyday that a performance such as this is caught on video andwe are lucky it was! The way that Ahmad leads this incredible trio is nothing short of spectacular. From the moment the first song kicks in until the last note is played, this incredible trio of Ahmad Jamal, Idris Muhammad and James Cammack will leave you spell bound and wanting more.
Ahmad's abilities on the piano are legendary and his incredibly humble style and his obvious love of the music shows through. A couple songs that really pop out to me are, the first track Young and Foolish, The Devil Is In My Den, Topsy Turvy, Acorn and In Search Of. These songs really show Ahmad's absolute command of the music. Having one of the finest jazz drummers of the modern era in Idris Muhammad is one of the reasons that the music flows so well. The friendship and love between Ahmad and Idris is obvious throughout the video. This is one of the few videos that you can get a healthy dose of Idris up close and personal. His incredible time keeping ability and intense feel for the music will have you shaking your head thinking, how in the world does he do that? His power is evident throughout the video. Island Fever, The Devil Is In My Den, The Aftermath, Poinciana, Acorn and In Search Of show his groove which is a mile wide! This leads us to the plucker of the strings, James Cammack. In a word, WOW! His ability to drive the groove with two monsters such as Ahmad and Idris is awesome. In the dictionary under the word feel, there is a picture of James Cammack. For those that wonder what a jazz bass player should sound like you need only watch this video. His drive on Acorn gave me goose bumps. He also really drives the message home on Topsy Turvy and The Aftermath. These songs show his awesome ability to deliver a diverse message. His talent rivals that of Charlie Biddle and Abe Laboriel.
I guess the best way to sum this video up is, I think it is a must own, the musicianship is second-to-none and the songs fit together like a beautiful puzzle. Well worth the money and will have you tapping your feet for the full hour and fifty-one minutes.
