Ahmad Jamal - Autumn Leaves - Palais des Congrès Paris 2017 - LIVE HD 

I love this rendition. I want to request that advertisements not be inserted into the middle of the music. It is truly a rude interruption and frankly makes me feel more like avoiding the products advertised than using them.

What a huge loss! 😢 The world will always be greatful and happy to witness what you ever created to our music Ahmad! Rest in Peace Lord Jamal! 🕊️

I love when musicians genuinely have fun while performing on stage , it adds another dimension to the music

I can't believe he is 87 !!! He plays the piano so awesome and elegantly. No signs of arthritis in his hands. What a blessing. He looks like he is in his mid 60's.

Ahmad Jamal: the master of elegant restraint...Thank you for all your beautiful music, and for doing it into your 90's! RIP ❤ 🎶. I can still remember my dad playing "Live at the Pershing " 60 yrs ago (!) and "Poinciana" clear as can be. It's like time travel!

Thank you for your outstanding and excellent music Ahmad! You will not be forgotten. Rest Brother Ahmad Jamal!

This is probably the greatest version of Autumn Leaves I've ever heard!

He was a dear friend of my mother who I was privileged to meet and see live on a few occasions. Truly one of the most astoundingly skilled musicians I have ever witnessed. The communication on stage between Ahmad Jamal and the musicians he played with was supernatural. The absolutely true, and pure love that flowed from the piano out to the audiences I was part of flowed out, and over, and around us with a harmonic embrace of warmth, and taste, and care and so much more. He treated his friendship with my mom in the same way. He was simply the embodiment of the divine music he created. There are no real words to explain. I have never encountered another musician who exuded the magic of this genius and kind, gracious, amazing soul.

Blessed is the man who loves what he does. At time he looks like he just discovered something new and the joy in his face is priceless. The whole band is just a joy to watch.

The coolest 87 year old on the planet!!!

I am from India and we were taught that with music one can reach the Devine. Sir my Namaskarms to you. You are indeed blessed by the Devine and hence already chosen to be with the Devine. I am sure as per our tradition the performers not only reach the Devine but also help other to reach devine. You have done that sir. My Namaskarms to you. 🙏

He and his entire band is off the chart on this one!! It's like Ahmad's fingers are instruments on each key...genius!! Love the percussion jam.....ahhhhhhhhh...........awesome!!!!!

Another genius! Slipped through this life without many even knowing he ever existed. Just one of the greatest pianists of all time. Thank you Ahmad.

Ahmad Jamal is going to be 90 on July 2!!!! Such an amazing pianist.

My mother started me at a young age listening to jazz and Ahmad Jamal was one of the first of many I listened to and loved!❤️

The man, the myth, the legend !! Ladies and gentleman, Mr Ahmad Jamal !!

Ahmad Jamal, is simply the don of music for me- a creative spirit being unleashed in all its magnificence! The fusion of the African heartbeat, the tantalising breeze and inherent complexity of Jazz and classical inflexions floats my boat big time! Thank you, brother, Ahmad Jamal! Genius!

This blonde girl sat mesmerized in 1972 absorbing Jamal at the invitation of his drummer, Frank Gant. I was 21. My first exposure to advanced piano jazz. The city was San Francisco.

Aaah Man, This is just too fine....In 2020 who is here?

When you've got it, you've GOT IT! Ahmad, you are pure GENIUS on the piano!!🌹

Ahmad Jamal....a gifted & talented artist! I love his music and will listen it for the rest of my life. Rest in Peace and thank you for all of the joy, love, hope, warmth and serenity your music has brought to me and millions around the world🎹🎼🎶🎵♥🤍💛💙💚💜🧡

I love the fact that at 3:42 he was able to throw in a quote from "Stolen Moments", fitting it perfectly into the phrasing. And he looks at his bassist, and smiles. I learned by version of "Stolen Moments" listening to his version, long ago.

This is life! Takes the wind out of your lungs and and then breaths new air back into you!

I was fortunate to marry a woman who had an Ahmad Jamal record in her collection back in the sixties. We're still happily married and here I am with the rest of y'all, just sitting back and enjoying it all. Thank you, Ahmad Jamal. Yeah, we still have that 55 year old record.

CLEARLY, The BEST VESION OF A COOL IMPROVISED AUTUMN LEAVES... Professor Ahmad Jamal IS A like a Master Chef on THE IVORY KEYS!!! LOVE his CHORDS and USE of CHORDS!!! Probably the best I've heard at IMPLEMENTING Great Jazz Chords to compliment a beautiful Theme... Folks, this is Textbook Chord USE, not too much, certainly not too little, just perfect, just right... The Bass-man, Percussion and Drums are BOSS MEN on their AXES too... Carry ON Professor!!! -Percy C. Payne 4/15/19.

Awesome. Ahmad is just awesome. A lifetime of jazz in his fingertips

Ahmad Jamal is a player who puts his soul, great joy and command into his playing. Very inspiring! His colorings are masterful.

RIP Ahmad et merci pour ta musique , bellissima musica !😎

OMG - this is SO beautiful, so moving to see Mr. Jamal having fun, being recognized, while performing the tasty jazz he's been producing for seven decades. Gorgeously filmed and presented - thank you so much, and RIP dear brother Ahmad!

I saw this wonderful man in concert 10 years ago (Feb.2013) in France. The whole theatre was hushed as he played; in reverence it seemed. And no wonder. RIP.

Descance en paz Sr. Ahmad Jamal 🌹1930-2023 y gracias. 💗🎼🎶

Stunning in its complexity, structure and form- what a gift to behold,.Thank you

Why do we find beauty in Music, here the answer ! Thank you so much Ahmad Jamal and his band, wonderful break !

I first heard Jamal in 1957 and instantly liked him and have seen him perform two other times between now and then. I wonder if he has found the fountain of youth.

Interprétation de génie, raffinée, les feuilles mortes vivent plus que jamais sous les doigts de Ahmad Jamal, puissante improvisation.... Mille ****** / Ahmad Jamal

YT has had this in my recommended vids for almost a year. Wow! My mind is gone...When he started playing Stolen Moments, lost it! I'm gonna go get his last album and see what else is there. I've know his name for quite a while but never heard him play. Glad I listened this morning, what great song to start your day off with!

Only Ahmad Jamal appears with a work like this with Autumn Leaves and the beauty of it all is he gives freedom to his percussion and he seems to flow with those guys. Very cool.

He has played "Autumn Leaves" in a Latin beat since the early Fifties. He plays with this group* since the mid Eighties. This is the purest Jazz tradition in the hands of the Ahmad Jamal Quartet!! *AJ (P), James Cammack (B), Herlin Rilley (D), Manolo Bandrena (D)

60 yrs. of memories, thank you Ahmad.

I saw him back in 1976 in vancouver, canada and he is playing as strong and in incredible health as he was back then. What great artist!

Thank you so much mister Jamal ! J’ai eu la chance extraordinaire de vous voir plusieurs fois en concert, les plus belles émotions en live de toute ma vie ! Vous êtes un exemple de longévité et de fraîcheur, quelle jeunesse !!! merci !

THE FIRST 90 SECONDS OPENED THE STARGATE. PURE MAGIC. LEGEND.

I have always loved his piano playing! His intro is amazing 😮👍🏻👍🏻

This is pure magic! The feeling of absolute freedom of thought and the ability to perform what he has in mind - this is mindblowing!

We should really appreciate the artistic genius of this Brother... BaBa Jamal keep it going.

American Classical MUSIC - The Master. I've had the pleasure and honor of being ringside once in my life.

Simply brilliant...nothing else matters when Ahmad Jamal plays like that...i think i held my breath troughout that piece...

My man -- the one and only Ahmad Jamal! He is the master of "I played it best but can still do better"! I love how he can take something familiar and put a new spin on it.

My jazz band in Nashville played this song last school year. I loved playing it then, I love playing it now. This is personally one of the best versions.

I was lucky enough to hear lawns played by Carla’s final trio at Blue Smoke just before Covid closed the club down & just before her passing. Rip Carla…. thanks for this & a lifetime of beautiful, original music.

Ahmad Jamal is amazing!👏🙌🎹

Content de revoir ce morceau. J'étais au Palais de Congrès ce jour là et on avait une sensation spéciale au moment où Maître Jamal jouait ce morceau avec son équipe. Je ne cesserai de lui remercier avec son équipe pour ce beau moment et tant d'autres.

I just did a google on him to see if he was still alive. Man,, is he ever!! He still has that rythmic trademark stamp on his tunes. Must get more Jamal!

Had the very distinct pleasure to hear him live in Toronto 20+ years ago. The way that he holds space and time in his music is simply a wonder to behold. I am at once edified, encouraged, illumined and inspired by the musical offering of this master. His phrasing from 9:08-9:46 transports me to the very best of places. Gratitude Mr.Jamal.

Sounds like a little breeze of fresh air with a slight scent of jasmin under the moonlight

The great Ahmad Jamal 🌹1930-2023 and thank you. RIP 💗🎼🎶

I love that they seem to enjoy themselves and each other!

un régal à écouter et à voir! j'adore cette version tout et tous ......encore plus les percu waouh! merci du partage! et de moment de pur bonheur!!!

My first time hearing this person play, I was 8 years old and my cousin had the Album" Ahmad Jamal Live at the Pershing" his songs were "Poinciana, " "But not for me", Moonlight in Vermont" and a few more , from then I was hooked unto Jazz!!

Great musician, great showman, great person. "Well done, good and faithful servant!" What amazes me is how well the communication flows among these musicians.

The performance is fantastic. I particularly like the video work. Shows how well the artists work together. Thank you!

Nice seeing him again and still active. I think of him from time to time... "Manhattan Reflections" and the "Awakening" albums were my favorites as a teen.

Roger Williams did his take on this tune. He did it formally. And then he did it good. Not too bad being good and provocative, yes indeed. Ahmad Jamal took me to another place with this classic tune. Thank You Dean Seattle

Great to see him playing after I had seen him live 7 years ago in CA festival. Really has all the nuances of his career.

Приятно душе от исполнения темы "Осенние листья" Ахмадом Джамалом, одним из последних могикан кагорты классиков джаза (JI). Спасибо

crazy my man was 87 in this video and still working them keys!!!!!!!

Ahmad Jamal is one of my favorite pianists of all time!

So intricate, so graceful, so full and rich with perfect percussions. Thank you Ahmad Jamal forever for your work. Dean Seattle

THIS is what I like from this Quartet and ofcause our GURU Ahmad Jamal..Just start and play a tune and the Leaves came down ;-))..WOW.. extraordinary

Ahmad Jamal is the best. Thanks for your swing, Master!!!

........My good friend Jim on the bass.......................True and Smooth.........Thank you Sir James.

I have played this almost a thousand times (really) but tonight I was saddened deeply by the news of the the passing of Ahmad and wish i could have seen him perform live.

I saw Ahmad Jamal one year at the Detroit Jazz Festival and could hardly wait to hear my fave. Poinciana. Ahmad RIP. Ann Marie Adkins-Jackson

Thanks for all the great music and memories. Ron

Pure joy,masterpiece, excellent all at the peak of their talent.

First time to hear him. A master maestro! Amazing rendition.

The finest head arrangement on the fly. Amazing

This brother is as smooth as silk!!!

The most underrated jazz pianist of all time :(

Love him so much! Hoping to see a live performance this year!

Oh dear, I don’t have the words to describe how much I love this

Mr. A. J., He was my 'sanity' in an insane😫 world of Southeast Asia. Still Cool and Smooth as Silk😎

From one pianist to another. You are incredible!!
