Thanks a lot! Afaik another unreleased live recording is in preparation on Steeplechase. 

Must look for that. I saw Liebman with Miles around 73 or 74 live. Too bad there is not "Ife" on it, and I am not really interested in older things like All Blues or Boplicity, but I´m sure Lieb brings them to life. He can play anything and it sounds fresh, quick and hip ! haha, that cover photo reminds me of a story my late wife Serena told me: When she was a kid, and she had learned early to walk with heels, she always was "the boss" at the playground. She decided who is allowed to play with her, in her gang, and there was a little boy who wanted to participate, but she shouted at him to leave them alone, than started to hit him, and after his mother told her mother that Serena had hitted him, which she denied, she smashed his toy car with her heels, the next day at the playground. Hard to believe, that this raunchy girl became the Princess, who had inspired me to compose "Waltz for Serena" for her. She will be missed dearly.  btw: Rick Margitza is great ! Great to read from a Bud lover !  Yeah, I also have this, I think it is 10 CDs.  On the Mythic Sound I really like Bud´s only recorded version of "I Got it Bad". And I also think that on the released Reprise LP "Dear Old Stockholm" never appeared on another record or recorded live performance. Maybe it was inspired by Bud´s sojurns to Stockholm, he played often there.  On the other hand, on the Mythic Sound album there are a few "originals" of Bud, that don´t appear elsewhere, but they are not so great, it seems they were penned very very quickly just for purpose, but anyway it seems they were not considered worthy enough to be released.  From those 10 Mythic CDs I like most "Burnin´ in USA" "Return to Birdland" and "Award at Birdland" which has the best playing and ......important for me: The best drummers !
