5. Jamal became a legend
when Miles Davis said something like, "all my inspiration today comes from Ahmad Jamal, the chicago pianist."

6. Different, yet comparable.
Both became known fronting piano trios in Chicago.

Both obtained fame by mining a niche in jazz, causing them to be underrated artists, while achieving commercial success.

fortunately, in real life you don't have to choose. You can get them both.
