The Major Scale is humbled and proud to bring you one of the finest artists America ever produced, the incomparable Ahmad Jamal! He spoke with us about his latest effort, the beautiful Marseille, as well as the state of things today and American classical music – that’s what we squares call jazz.
Staying on theme, Noah Haidu is another artist who has a way with the piano. Downbeat certainly noticed, they consider his Infinite Distances among the best albums of 2017. If things keep going they way they are, Mr. Haidu will rank among the likes of the aforementioned Ahmad Jamal. One listen and you’ll know why
