Live at the Montreal Jazz Festival is a live album by American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal featuring performances recorded at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in 1985 and released on the Atlantic label.[3]
The double album was released in 1986. Billboard listed it as a "recommended" album in November of that year.[4] Scott Yanow, in his review for Allmusic, states "This particular group is often reminiscent of Jamal's trios of the '50s, although with more modern bass playing and some denser piano than before".[1]
