Re: "late" Powell, I'm late to this discussion, but here's my take: Powell in '53 (mostly live recordings) was OK, but a less nimble version of his former self. Most of the later Verves and RCA recordings to me are painfully bad. For the later Blue Note sessions he seems to have come up with a modified, more hard bop and less bop-virtuosic style that worked well enough, but couldn't compare to 1946-51. From '59-'63 he seems to have returned to his classic style, and at times he sounds as brilliant as ever (e.g. Lausanne, Portrait of Thelonious, and a few others). Blues for Bouffemont is an interesting document of Bud at the end and how erratic he was: the first session has some brilliant moments and the second session is an incoherent mess.

Wordplay AND faceplay AND back to MY previous post...

Going with this one--one can't just choose an earlier one to respond to!

I did some projects with some of these guys in the '80s (Phillip, Joel & Hofstra)--I was singing my own lyrics for Monk tunes. Joel is a blast, but a challenge as an accompanist, since he loves to throw curveballs. I always had to keep an ear closely on Hofstra.

Shows up fine here...these images can be tricky from one machine to the next...it's been an ongoing issue on this board for some time now. The original poster's experience is not reliable because you may be seeing a version stored in your cache. I can now see it because I went to the site and it's in my cache.

I guess lpcoverlover.com is another one to add to the schitt list.
