Khan Jamal (born July 23, 1946, Jacksonville, Florida[1]) is an American jazz vibraphone and marimba player. Ron Wynn describes Jamal as "a proficient soloist when playing free material, jazz-rock and fusion, hard bop, or bluesy fare."[1]
Jamal began playing vibraphone during the mid-1960s.[2] Later in the decade, he joined Cosmic Forces, then co-founded Sounds of Liberation with Byard Lancaster during the early 1970s.[1] During the 1970s, Jamal studied at Combs College of Music and joined Sunny Murray's group Untouchable Factor.[1] In addition to leading his own groups, Jamal has performed with Ronald Shannon Jackson's Decoding Society, Joe Bonner, Billy Bang, Charles Tyler and others.[1][2]
