I discovered this as a kid in 1958 and have loved it since then. I think it is one of the greatest jazz albums of all time. FYI Jamal was only 24 yrs old when he did this. I think this was his second alblum. When asked how one could learn to play jazz he always said "listen to Ahmad Jamal. You'll learn everything you need to know and more" TRUE!!!!
One day, I'm gonna be in a rundown jazz bar somewhere. It'll be almost empty save for me and a woman in a red dress, plus a few old regulars. I'll be in a suit. I'll take that lady home. This will be playing on the jukebox.
...if this ever actually happens, my life will be complete

One of the wonders of my youth was discovering Jamal
Loved his Poinciana when it was 1st released; actually saw him perform at Kleinhans in Buffalo NY in the early '60s
Loved him then; still do. He is one of the best, if not the best Jazz pianists
Ahmad Jamal at the Pershing, But Not For Me was & still is my favorite album!
Have the original on vinly & now on CD. When i give CDs as gifts to my family & friends, that is one I give to represent the best of Jazz pianists
My thanks to Mr Jamal
