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 KZread! 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!

I listen to this evocative piece of jazz perfection almost every day, but today it seems even more poignant than ever. I just learned of the passing of this jazz master, who I had the privilege of seeing perform live at City Hall during the Toronto Jazz Festival of 2007. Rest in peace and power, Mr. Ahmad Jamal.

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.

One of the greatest jazz pianists of all time, Ahmad Jamal, passed away at the age of 92. RIEP Will treasure these memories.

Had the great privilege of seeing him in 1967 while in college. Remember how smooth he was. Amazing that 50 years later he sounds as good as ever. A jazz giant. The group swings.

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.
