Macanudo is an album by the American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal of performances by Jamal with an orchestra conducted by Richard Evans. It was recorded in 1962 and released on the Argo label.[1]
A reviewer for Billboard wrote: "The album is a solid pop item, a fine thing for change of pace programming... It's very lyric in content and full of gentle and verveful melody with rhythm."[4]
Simon Sweetman, writing for Off the Tracks, called the albumn "wonderful," and praised "the way [Jamal's] lines just coast so easily, effortlessly across the rhythm of each piece." He concluded: "A class act, of course. And something a little different within his vast, impeccable canon of music."[5]
A writer for Ambient Exotica described the album as "something truly special" and "a gem," and commented: "Macanudo... has it all: Latin duskiness, a string-fueled magnificence, brass-infused heterodynes as well as true-to-form Jazz flavors... The album just feels great."[6]
