Bud Powell: Live at Birdland 1957

[king ubu]

it's not quite late November yet ...

[AllenLowe]

I NEED this one; oh, Bud......

[blind-blake]

I NEED this one; oh, Bud......

I'm with you, my man

[Quasimado]

Should be available 11/25 - great Bud.

Q

[AllenLowe]

I must have it; will it be orderable in the USA? Or am I going to have to cross the Himalayas on foot, rent a camel, brave the Spartan Winter, risk my life against the Tribal Warriors of Afghanistan, scale a 1000 foot wall, grab a copy and run and then return the same way, bribing border guards to look the other way?

not sure what would be the best way to order one to be delivered to Europe ... cdjapan does not seem to carry these

[jlhoots]

I don't see the CD you're looking for when I go to the East Wind site.

I'm sure they'll eventually have it.

Yes.

[AllenLowe]

ok

That was my assumption and why I posted the link.

[blind-blake]

At what point do we raid Quasimodo's place for copies?

I emailed Eastwind yesterday & received a quick response - they will be getting in copies of this & the new Eric Dolphy CD (Muses) ASAP - were released on Nov 25 in Japan

Maximum Rare Records has copies listed (Japanese online dealer - been dealing with them for the past 2 years & service is good plus shipping rates are low)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BUD-POWELL-LIVE-BIRDLAND-1957-JAPAN-ISSUE-CD-999-Ltd-Ed-G00-/271332405871?pt=Music_CDs&hash=item3f2cabf26f

also the Dolphy

these ain't cheap (all prices are 2600-2800 yen or $30 to $33 US on all dealers I've come across) - still think they're worth it, esp the Dolphy with the unreleased track (Muses) & alternates

[Quasimado]

Apologies for the delay - this is the real deal.

Q

[king ubu]

How much music is there on the Powell disc? Can anybody provide timings?

These ARE pricy ... and I think I won't get the Dolphy. I'd be all for a 2CD set of the entire sessions though, but this one seems to be a bit expensive for a few alternates and not that much music (I know there's one new tune there, too, but 40$ for one tune, by all my love for Dolphy ...)

[Quasimado]

Time is 53:47

[king ubu]

okay, thanks!

[AllenLowe]

I want it; a little pricey.

[king ubu]

Bought one from the ebay seller linked to above - thanks for spreading that link, romualdo!

Can't wait to hear it!

[blind-blake]

Got mine too! Pricey but I couldn't do without it. IMHO he may be the most profound jazz communicator of them all.

[Eric]

EDIT - Ordered a copy which shipped today - nice service! FWIW, their description notes only 999 CDs were pressed.

Well that got me moving! Thanks.

[AllenLowe]

me to, thanks for mentioning that Dan.

[jlhoots]

Me too. Hope I got there in time.

[mjzee]

I'm in. Sounds intriguing. How do we know this is a legit release and not a bootleg?

[Chuck Nessa]

Who do you think should be paid? OTOH, I hate to see "someone" make all the bucks.
