Includes 12-page booklet
Two complete original LPs by the Ahmad Jamal Trio: NAKED CITY THEME, recorded live at the Jazz Workshop, in
San Francisco, in 1964, and EXTENSIONS, a studio album made in New York the following year. Both albums appear on CD here for the first time ever.
Bassist Israel Crosby died of a heart attack on August 11, 1962, marking the end of the celebrated Ahmad Jamal-Israel Crosby - Vernell Fournier Trio. The next formation of Jamal's trio, including Jamil Sulieman Nasser on bass and Chuck Lampkin on drums, can be heard on the first album included on this release, recorded live at the Jazz Workshop, in San Francisco, in June 1964. It was originally issued under the title of Naked City Theme and has never previously appeared on CD. According to the original liner notes from that album, the selections were chosen from numerous inspired performances given the nights of June 26, 27 & 28, 1964. However, the Tom Lord discography states that 'Naked City Theme', 'Haitian Market Place', 'One for Miles' and an unissued version of 'Whisper Not' were taped on December 10, 1963. The same discography claims that the rest of the material - including several unissued tunes - was recorded on the given June 1964 dates. It is not clear which of the two sources is correct, but we have chosen to use the data given on the original LP back cover. Vernell Fournier had returned to the trio in 1965 when Jamal recorded the second album included here, Extensions. Made in a New York studio, it consists of four extended performances, the last of which is 'Whisper Not', a re-recording of a tune that had been left off of the previous album.
