Count 'Em 88 is an album by American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal.[3][4] It contains performances recorded in 1956 and released on the Argo label.[5]
Critical reception
[edit]Scott Yanow of AllMusic states: "The 'Jamal sound,' with its expert use of dynamics, close interplay, space and subtle surprises was very much in place, and this out-of-print set is on the same level as his better-known hits to come."[2]
