    I HAD NEVER HEARD OF AHMAD JAMAL, BUT ABOUT 45 YEARS AGO, I WALKED INTO A STORE THAT WAS PLAYING HIS MUSIC AND I STARTED DANCING RIGHT ON THE SPOT WHERE I WAS STANDING. IT WAS THIS VERY SONG THAT WAS PLAYING. I IMMEDIATELY BOUGHT THE ALBUM AND HAVE BEEN GROVIN' EVER SINCE. HIS MUSIC IS SO WELL KNOWN AND SO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER PIANO PLAYER. ALL OF HIS GROUP ARE SUPERB MUSCIANS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING THIS ON RUclips! MAY AHMAD HAVE MANY MORE BIRTHDAYS SO HE CAN PLAY MORE MUSIC. TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY AND I AM DANCING LIKE IT WAS 45 YEARS AGO! . . .SYLVIA!

    Sixty years ago I heard Poinciana at a local Chicago station. Ahmed Jamal played at the Pershing Hotel at 39th and Federal, not far from the high school I attended. I was mesmerized by this song, and have heard it 10,000 times. Notice the interaction of the musicians. This is harmony.

    I have listened to many recordings of Poinciana by Ahmad Jamal, but this one is my absolute favorite. There is not a day that goes by without me listening to it. At work, my feet are pumping under my desk and the melody is in my head most of the time.

    Dynamic Player! When my daughter, Ali, was 8 years old, I was working in NYC and I took her with me to the jazz supper club to listen to him and band. They seated us up front and the drummer asked a couple of times..."is this music too loud for her"...so sweet of him. People afterwards came up to me and said "what a great ideal to introduce your child to music this way.
