Reception

Jazz reviewer/historian Scott Yanow awarded the album four stars. He mentions in his review that the album "gives listeners an excellent example of the playing of pianist Ahmad Jamal in the mid-1970s".[1]

Emmy Award winner Michael K. Leader (now President of Leader Cinema Systems, Inc) was the Recording Engineer of note for the album “ Ahmad Jamal Recorded Live at Oil Can Harry's . Gary Barclay, then the Jazz producer for CHQM-FM in Vancouver Canada, was the Producer of note for this album, and NOT Ahmad Jamal as plagiarized in the list of credits.

The Oil Can Harry’s August 8, 1975 performance was recorded live for the Saturday All Nite Jazz Show on CHQM. Under the terms of AFM American Federation of Musicians of The United States and Canada Contract NO: C 19029, this is a Radio Broadcast Contract. The use specifically covers a one time broadcast use for which the performers were paid at the broadcast rate. This is NOT a recording contract and does not contain any provisions for a recorded work to be released on the retail market.

Michael Leader has not been credited as Recording Engineer, nor has he been financially compensated for a recording session. Producer Gary Barclay has not been compensated as Producer, nor does his name appear on any credits.

Mr. Jamal has been financially rewarded for plagiarized work, without compensation being paid to Leader or Barclay. The term “theft” or embezzlement fits with my dealings with Jamal.

I am attempting to upload the AFM contract between Jamal and Barclay and am awaiting permission from Wikipedia to do so.

Signed: Michael K. Leader
