Pricey, Pricey collectors only!
Unless you're REALLY serious about Ahmad Jamal's "At The Penthouse", try to beg or borrow this album/CD from someone. Having bought the original LP in 1959, I wasn't deterred in the least about the price because I knew that I was getting one of his best recordings he'd ever done. His version of "Ivy" alone is worth it all. Listening to Joe Kennedy's strings is a distraction on some tunes. But one can hear why Miles loved this guys approach to standards and originals so much. Enjoy.
