Mr. Davis credited Mr. Dyett with pushing him to play across styles, and during high school he also studied with Rudolf Fahsbender of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. He would go on to receive a bachelor’s degree in music education from the VanderCook College of Music in Chicago in 1952. As a young player in Chicago, he was mentored by local bassists like Wilbur Ware and Eddie Calhoun. While still in college, he performed with the pianist and bandleader Sun Ra, who at the time was still billed as Sonny Blount. His first major gig was with the pianist Ahmad Jamal in 1952.

☆ Ahmad Jamal, Jazz Pianist With a Measured Approach, Dies at 92

Ahmad Jamal, whose measured, spare piano style was an inspiration to generations of jazz musicians, died on Sunday at his home in Ashley Falls, Mass. The cause was prostate cancer, his daughter, Sumayah Jamal, said. That approach stood in marked contrast to the challengingly complex music known as bebop, which was sweeping the jazz world when Mr. Jamal began his career as a teenager in the mid-1940s. Bebop pianists, following the lead of Bud Powell, became known for their virtuosic flurries of notes. Mr. Jamal chose a different path, which proved equally influential.

“Ahmad is one of my favorites,” he told Hentoff in a different interview. “I live until he makes another record. For some, it was a distinct echo of when Louis Armstrong had spoken of his own love for Guy Lombardo a few decades earlier. What Davis—and since then, several generations of jazz players and listeners—loved most about Mr. Jamal becomes crystal clear in two new sets of live recordings from a Seattle nightclub being released on the Jazz Detective label. “Emerald City Nights: Live at the Penthouse 1963-1964” and “Emerald City Nights: Live at the Penthouse 1965-1966” have both been produced by Zev Feldman .
