      That Old Black Magic

      By mhatta · Posted

      A bit off-topic... Bud Powell recorded “That Old Black Magic” several times. The 1954 recording for Norgran/Verve was terrible, possibly he was drunk. However, the 1955 live recording from Birdland is a wonderful performance (it was issued in Francis Paudras' massive box set of Powell archive). Unfortunately, it seems to have been recorded via a TV speaker (possibly from Bob Andrews' collection?), resulting in terrible sound quality.  It is basically unlistenable. However, the 1956 version recently unearthed by Lewis Porter has excellent sound quality (some mess in the middle), and the drums are played by Roy Haynes! While the performance lacks the same grandeur as the 1955 version, it's still quite good. https://lewisporter.substack.com/p/bud-powell-unissued-live-recording

      Dusty Groove had it in stock when last I looked. That's often a good US source for JIB CDs due to domestic shipping.

      I'd order a CD but with shipping to the US, it's about $30.
