Khan Jamal

One of the best of vibraphonist Khan Jamal's SteepleChase albums, this set matches Jamal with the great South African bassist Johnny Dyani, and drummer Leroy Lowe. Together they interpret five of Jamal's originals (plus John Coltrane's "Equinox"), performing colorful inside/outside music full of surprises and variety. Out of the 70s and 80s’ super creative Philadelphia jazz scene emerged Khan Jamal (b. 1946) the vibraphonist to grab the attention of world jazz audiences. He was a key figure in Sounds Of Liberation ensemble with Byard Lancaster. He played with Sunny Murray, Joe Bonner, Billy Band, Charles Tyler to mention a few. Jamal frequently visited Denmark during the 80s and recorded this album in Copenhagen, at Sound Track Studios, Copenhagen, October 31, 1985.
