Ahmad Jamal Plays is an album by American jazz pianist Ahmad Jamal featuring performances recorded in 1955 and originally released on the short-lived Parrot label in 1955. The album was rereleased as Chamber Music of the New Jazz on the Argo label after Chess Records purchased the master tapes in 1956. The cover was credited to Eric Anderson, Jr.

Scott Yanow, in his review for Allmusic, says Jamal's "communication with Crawford and Crosby was often magical".
