Ahmad Jamal
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts 2700 F Street NW, District of Columbia 20566
Ahmad Jamal may be the last original jazzman. Though he now has a key on the piano for each year of life, Jamal’s performances are as fresh as ever with his delicate touch, taste for sweet comping chords, and knack for ingenious improvisations. The two-time Grammy® nominee has developed a wide following among mainstream audiences, longtime music lovers, and jazz legends—even now, there’s simply no one who plays quite like Jamal.
