Mon choix Videopick: L’humble pianiste, géant du Jazz Ahmad Jamal présente cette semaine son dernier projet “ Marseille “. Une ode à cette ville portuaire ensoleillée, il lui a écrit une lettre d’amour pour inspirer la chanteuse Franco-Béninoise Mina Agossi et le poète/ rappeur Abd Al Malik. Franchement, à l’âge sage de 86 ans, il continue de nous surprendre!.
My VideoPick: I have finally received the new album by master pianist, and a true giant of Jazz, Ahmad Jamal. For the first time, he has written lyrics and invited singer Mina Agossi and poet/ rapper Abd Al Malik to interpret that ode to the iconic Southern city of “Marseille “. A treat!
“… A new album by legendary pianist and composer Ahmad Jamal is always a hotly anticipated event. But Marseille has an additional glow of excitement …”
