    Default Poinciana - Nat Simon

    Poinciana (Ahmad Jamal) - Nat Simon

    Revised to reflect the way Ahmad played this tune - you know, since he kinda OWNED this tune...

    Biggest change was the little "up & down the hill" changes in the 3rd & 4th measures of the B section. Plus, changed the main tonic chord from a D6 to a D13 - I guess I'd usually call that chord a maj9 chord w/ an added 6th, but whatever, he definitely uses the maj 7th & the 9th (melody note) in that chord. I based this on a live vers. from his "One Night Only" album.

    Even though it's marked Latin, I've been using the Smooth Pop style, believe it or not, it seems to get the drum feel closest to the recording. 96/qtr
