I would walk from sub-way station to sub-way station to save money so I could check prices, from copley square to harvard square. I nickel and dimed this album as a kid.

I remember hearing this record in 77 or so and it wasn't new but it wasn't an uncle or dad disc either

4. Why did I remember this, one of the very first artists of jazz whose album I purchased.

I remember 'Watermelon Man', know it was way retro.

7. Glad you remembered! I don't think a month passes

that I don't listen to this first Poinciana and Mr. Jamal's latest iteration so many, many years later I never tire of. As a kid I'd listen to this first one just to hear the ambient club sounds and feel like I'm right there.

9. Enjoyed! 👍

11. Excellent!

I'm so glad he didn't disappoint

I think Nat King Cole's version Poinciana is the most haunting song I've ever heard and still don't know what to make of it though I love it. Thinking about it now gives me goose bumps. The original Latin version is haunting but filled with a lot of drama that I can handle.

But Mr. Jamal's version totally spun my head around. His was the first time I'd heard a complete sea change in music. Just genius!

12. Oh, wow. I've never seen that cover.

The one you first posted, At the Pershing, is the one we had at home.

I'll take them all!

6. Sure do!

I was confused by the song and the 1970 movie of the same title. Somehow in my young mind, I thought it was the theme for the movie.

Thanks for posting.
