Ahmad Jamal | Birthday Celebration!

($20-$30 Tickets + DICE fees | 6:30pm Show)
Join us for an evening celebrating the life and music of Ahmad Jamal, one of the most influential pianists in jazz history. This special concert pays tribute to Jamal's landmark piano trio recordings of 1958–61 — a period that defined a new approach to the jazz trio and captivated listeners worldwide with its elegant swing, dramatic space, and rhythmic sophistication.
Performing the music of this iconic era are Angelo Versace (piano), Scott Black (bass), and Arthur Vint (drums), who bring Jamal's celebrated repertoire to life in the spirit of the original trio: Ahmad Jamal on piano, Israel Crosby on bass, and Vernel Fournier on drums. Their recordings, including the landmark At the Pershing: But Not for Me, remain among the best-selling jazz albums of all time and continue to inspire musicians and fans across generations.
Come celebrate a true jazz giant — his artistry, his legacy, and the timeless music he gave the world.
