"...these days everything about his playing is a bit sharper, a touch more vivid, a smidge more fanciful.A Quiet Timeis filled with audacious maneuvers.  Frequent tempo changes, sudden melody switcheroos and unexpected flourishes are the norm.  Some are feints that broaden the music's character - zigging one way while zagging another.  Each is subtly accomplished, complementary to its predecessor while offering an indavidualistic perspective.  Several are guided by a steely sense of control that has long been part of the pianists artistic personality." --Jim Macnie, DOWNBEAT - March 2010A QUIET TIME - #1 on Jazz Week Radio ChartWeek of Feb 22, 2010 --JazzWeek Radio ChartSuch a fun listen...After keeping this album on constant rotation for a week, I feel like this isn't just another entry in Jamal's catalog, but another high-quality, tell-all-your-friends-type release. --David Amidon, Popmatters.com
