Ahmad Jamal (Poznan 1998), Ponciana

[@lesliehayton2929]

James cammack and idris are a great rhythm team and Ahmad and othello obviously help a bit , best wishes and happy listening !

[@jenniferbraud5942]

Love the addition of Othello Molineaux on steel drums.

[@dianaetalexandresigalszl4206]

Pure joyce and all jazz musicians playing with grace . An extraordinary version done by Ahmad Jamal . Thank you very much for who posted this video. After this , next step is to Heaven and Jesus ...despite not being Christian. I call it music of angels.

[@thompsonhundert]

by far the best version the synergy beetween the musicians especially between ahmad and othello is beautifull... pure hapiness and harmony

[@RXmusic4YOU]

...thanks mom...for introducing me to ahmad jamal...this is for you, again, again and again.....

[@OurEnemyScalion]

His Poinciana album is the only thing that keeps me sane.

[@jasoneducator]

Fantastic! I watched him play at the Village Gate in 1968 and he's still amazing)!

[@RXmusic4YOU]

...when i want to smile....i keep coming back to this....

[@sundancer7381]

It really adds to the musical experience to see the interplay among the musicians......you should do more where you have the visual + musical displayed. Thanks! It's infectious!

[@gfunkk]

most of the time Ahmad is just watching the other musicians. I see a point where he waits around 3 measures just listening before deciding when to chime in.

[@ntesslafan]

Absolutely superb music! Love Mr. Jamal's music. The band is also special. Mr. Cammack on the bass is a favorite of mine. Neat. Thanks so much for the post!

Beautiful music. Love Othello on steel drums. One of my favorites.

[@yeahdancetomyrecord]

this version with the steel drums has got to be one of my favorites

[@errolmichaelphillips7763]

Who is the player?

[@yeahdancetomyrecord]

Othello Molineaux is the fine gentleman on the steel if you hadn't already figured that out.

[@gfunkk]

yep, definitely the favorite. 3 years later i have listened to this countless times and its absolutely perfect.

[@prestonbarnes1796]

Loved this song since i was in grade school. Thanks mom!

[@noideasoriginal4964]

This fills my heart.

[@wismasakinahhotel6649]

Those four are phenomenal

[@JoeL-kn9tc]

Othello really sounds amazing from 4:45 to 6:30 on the steel drum.

[@airider2]

This group nailed Poinciana. They really loved doing it, and it showed.

For anyone who loves this and hasn't checked her out yet, I highly recommend Hiromi Uehara. She is a blaze of cool hair and fast fingers and she was personally mentored by Ahmad while she was here in the states studying at Berkelee.

You adjust the hi-hat clutch to the desired height of the top cymbal.

@music1831 Steel Drum -- you know, from the Carribean...

[@bushyconn]

And to think that I thought the version on "Digital Works" was the best ever!! Well it was my introduction to Ahmad Jamal. Who is that amazing steel drum player?

[@garveypollard4070]

othello molineaux

[@prof.t.c.pfeiler1280]

Great version, but please: Idris Muhammad, not "Muhammed". The tune is called "Poinciana" not "Ponciana"....

[@KingJorman]

I hear a collage

[@isivip1]

idris muhammad on drums ????

[@jamessholtz6016]

Yup

[@jasoneducator]

Is that Vernel Fournier on drums?

[@jasoneducator]

LOL. It's Idris Muhammad. Classy.

[@codyyum]

Can anyone explain what Jamal did at 8:11?

[@garveypollard4070]
