Review title: Ahmad Jamal is wonderful - this CD is not
Product review: Unless you like editied and shortened versions of live works, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS CD!All I need to say is this - on this CD "Poinciana" is 2:56 long and is a recording that Jamal made at the Pershing in Chicago in 1958. However, the real recording is 8:11 long! The people who produced this CD cut out nearly 2/3 of the original recording - and did it in a sloppy manner to boot. It's worse than watching a movie on AMC or TBS/TNT!Please don't tarnish the work of one of the greatest jazz musicians ever buy giving your money to these people. There are plenty of other Ahmad Jamal CDs available that are high quality and have complete versions of wonderful original recordings.
