That change matters here. Rather than simply updating his sound, Jamal uses the instrument to meet early-70s soul and funk on its own terms, while keeping the clarity and control that defined his earlier work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCo-produced with Richard Evans, who also arranged and conducted the larger ensemble, the album expands far beyond the lean trio format many listeners associate with Jamal. Strings, horns and vocals give these performances a broader, more orchestrated feel, especially on versions of Stevie Wonder's \u003cem\u003eSuperstition\u003c\/em\u003e and War's \u003cem\u003eThe World Is a Ghetto\u003c\/em\u003e.
