ghost of miles Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Re-posting three Night Lights programs today in honor of Bud, born on this day in 1924. The first two include some commentary from Powell biographer Peter Pullman; the third focuses exclusively on live recordings by Powell from 1944 to 1953: Time Flies: The Life And Music Of Bud Powell, Part 1 The Scene Changes: The Life And Music Of Bud Powell, Part 2 Burning With Bud: Bud Powell Live, 1944-1953 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gheorghe Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Really a great thing, reminding the world about that great artist. On one of the later records there is also a short tape recording where some friends celebrated Bud´s 40´th Birthday (september 27th 1964) at some friend´s house on Fire Island. Usually many reviews describe Bud´s shaky performances at Birdland during that time, but he still could do trememdous things and as the recordings prove, there were days when he was in top form, exiting versions of Johns Abbey, the hard to play Conception, the ultra rapid Just One of those Things, and fantastic versions of Round Midnite or Monk´s Mood.... Not well recorded, but really interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
