Yes it is. That LP (also later CD) is from the famous british Spotlite Label, a heaven on earth for bop fans.

I also heard other AFRS Jubilee shows with that funny MC, also on Spotlite. You hear his "thank youuuuu thank youuuu" also on a Jay McShann show on the second side of "Early Bird", and you hear him on "Bird in Lotusland" where he comments an encounter between Bird, Willie Smith and Benny Carter.........

He's got a small part in Stormy Weather. Many  (but not all) of the Jubilee shows are on-line. I downloaded  142 of them.

I think I share the opion some others here on the board have about Bud that they listen more to the later period. I have somehow difficulties to listen to those upper register ultra speed runs that are the trademark of the early Verves, like those ultra fast "Tea for Two" or "Get Happy" from Verve 1950 with an almost unheard Buddy Rich. Those ultrarapid runs and high piano notes may be virtuosity, but a bit too much of it.

The latterday Bud had slowed down a little and plays more in the middle register.

This record may not be as good as the extraordinary danish "Bouncin´ with Bud" or the top form solos of Bud on "Hawk in Germany", but it still is very much Bud Powell. Only technical purists may be annoyed by some little flubs here and there. But it´s interesting to compare this "Just One of those Things" with the a little bit too fast solo version on an earlier Verve.

The best track is "The Best Thing for You (is me)", it´s played almost with the same perfection and conception like on the danish "Bouncin´with".

And a really treasure is the Ballads. No one could give us a more lyrical and deeply emotional "Someone to Watch over me" or "If I loved you".

My CD also has to bonus tracks, a really solid "I Hear Music", and a moving "Autumn in New York" played on a slower pace than the original 1953 on Amazing Bud Powell Vol. II.

:tup:tup:tup:tup Boards of Canada - Geogaddi

One of those albums i keep on playing. The album they put in the most effort. They wanted to create an album as perfect as it possibly gets.

3 lp's, beautifull packaging, artwork and of course music.

Personal life experiences from the duo in a jacket of Mystisicm, filled with distorted voices, nature sounds, broken beats, lush dreamy silk strings all flowing together masterfully.
