KHAN JAMAL TRIO – The Traveller
LP – Black Vinyl
Out of the ’70s and ’80s super creative Philadelphia jazz scene emerged Khan Jamal (born 1946) the vibraphonist was a key figure in Sounds Of Liberation ensemble with Byard Lancaster and played with Sunny Murray, Joe Bonner, Billy Band, Charles Tyler to mention a few.
Jamal frequently visited Denmark during the ’80s and recorded this album in Copenhagen in 1985 with South African bassist Johnny Dyani and American drummer Leroy Lowe.
“Jamal has the exact right chemistry going with South African bassist Dyani: the various rhythmic modes are always infectious, and Jamal’s mallet work often transcends the obvious limitations of his instrument.” – Cadence
