    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!

    Like I said before, Ahmad Jamal with this tune turned my life around at my age of 12 years old in 1961. From our deaf parents who never knew music, my older sister bought the Ahmad Jamal Live Album at the Pershing Hotel in NY 1959 album with the iconic Poinciana tune. We played it on the old record player. I was instantly hooked on this sound. This new music to me of which I had never known so I was instantly hooked with a 12 year old hypnotic self-induced addiction to something new after Grandma told me to walk down the street to take the Saturday morning piano lessons from the lady. Yes, I'm playing piano again with all the sexy arpeggios. Not bad but others say I should put a vase on the local public piano's they have everywhere here, haha.

      I was born in 1958. My dad listened to the local station in Detroit (WJZZ) and I believe I was about 8 when Poinciana caught my ears. You are absolutely right….”Still the same magic”.

    Not only is this one of the great jazz compositions, but it's really fun to see how much Ahmad and the band are enjoying playing this live.

    I remember watching Ahamd Jamal perform in 1968 at the Village Gate.
    He was great then, even better now - wow! :)

      That was a great time to be a live in the city. Five Spot, Vanguard, The Gate. Miles, Monk, Mingus, Dizzy. All magical, great audiences and every tune a trip. I love RUclips! haha

    I got hooked on Ahmad Jamal in 1962. When my friends were groovin on Chuck Berry I would sneak in Poincienna and they would laugh and say" more Augie Malted music?" - they got to love it too. But I lost touch and was delighted to see he is the same great talent - nearly 60 years of beautiful music.

    I first heard Ahmad play this in 58. It was on an Argo LP and played by Sid McCoy on WCFL radio. Sid had a jazz show from 11 to 2am daily. I lived in Chicago and listened every night. This tune and rendition immediately struck lightening.

      "This is your boy Sid McCoy." I was 19 years old in 1959 and in the Air Force at Westover AFB in Massachusetts. In the wee hours of the morning we could pick up Sid McCoy's show all the way up there. Your comments brought back a flood of memories.

      @@millardallgood6418 I faithfully listened to Sid from 56 to 62. Was introduced to so many jazz greats. Loved the background music of Stan Getz and Johnny Smith playing “Moonlight in Vermont.” WCFL 1000 on the AM dial, Chicago.

    My headache is gone! Ahhhh, this song is priceless, ageless, and so smmmmooooooth and calming. As good as a strong cup of herbal tea on a cold day. Love soaking in the ultimate coolness of this silky smooth jazz classic on a hot day...it never ever gets old. Yet I gently dance with my shoulders in my seat...that’s what We call REAL jazz.

    I used to play this piece almost daily, holding my Maltese in my arms and dancing around my apartment. My Maltese loved it and so did I. Now my little one is gone, and I’m too old and unsteady to dance, but I still listen to this and love it.
