This intimate center stage recording from Bubba's Jazz Restaurant in 1980 is a potent reminder of how good Ahmad Jamal’s live performances could be. Bubba’s Jazz Restaurant was considered one of the most famous jazz clubs in the world, with its performance roster presenting the Who’s Who of the jazz world. Jamal sadly passed away in 2023.

He was a luminary in the world of jazz; his distinct style marrying the elegance of classical music with the improvisational spirit of jazz. Teamed up with bassist Sabu Adeyola and drummer Payton Crossley, the trio interprets an exciting array of standards including "Waltz for Debbie" and "Autumn in New York." Complete with extended liner notes, this reissue comes available in two vinyl colour variations - standard black, and opaque amber.
