Swahililand - Ahmad Jamal
Loading...
Uploaded by teenabeenaweena on Jan 8, 2010
From 1974's "Jamal Plays Jamal", here's my dude (who I would LOVE to see live) Ahmad Jamal with "Swahililand."
Classic!!!
Sampled later Diamond D's "Hiatus"; The Game's "Compton"; and of course, "Stakes is High" by De La.

That's the sample of "Reggie (Intro)" by Redman!

Gives me the chills.

This is my mommy’s music. I was raised hearing this kind of jazz in my house. And recently I was helping my mommy move some things and found a Ahmad Jamal record from the 1950s or early 1960. Makes me wish I had stayed with those piano lessons my mommy used to take me to.

Saw him live at the Blue Note in New York in 2005. He was backed by Idris Muhammed on drums and James Cammack on bass. Incredible set. Unfortunately I saw his second set of the night and he played Swahililand during the first set. He played Poinciana during the second, which is the sample for Stop Frontin' by KRS One.

ahmad jamal is by far my favorite pianist and dilla's a genius on how he flipped this sample for "stakes is high"

Yo I always love the beat for Stakes is High and this song just made me a fan of someone I've never heard of dope sample from a dope song. This takes you on a voyage. I love jazz

I think the person that clicked dislike meant to click like, but sneezed at the same time.
