Great news for Ahmad Jamal fans. Ahmad Jamal writes: “We have just completed highly successful concerts in France. Our latest recording, “Ballades”, will be released September 13, 2019. It includes my solo version of “Poinciana”, recorded between takes during our session for “Marseille”. My original version remains one of the most successful recordings in the history of instrumental music; and one of the most plagiarized. ROLLING STONE INTERNATIONAL named it as one of the the most important pieces recorded; even after 61 years!”
