Happy Birthday Bud Powell

[Gheorghe]

What can I say, my idol !

Needless to say I´ll listen to a lot of his recordings this evening.

Also got a tape with Happy Birthday Celebrations from 29.9.64, when he celebrated his 40th Birthday with some friends on Fire Islands during his Birdland stay in september/october 1964.

Some of his recordings will find their way to my CD player this evening.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUD!

Your music and your spirit are still with us.

Coincidentally, I just found this album at a shop yesterday (for $1.99!) and am giving it a listen now:

Happy Birthday, Bud!

Yeah, this is from august 1964 at Edenville France, with Johnny Griffin on some tracks. Bud is great on Straight No Chaser, Wee and Hot House with Griffin and on "Bean ´n the Boys" . Only the rhythm section I think they just were some music lovers, picked up on occasion.

I got some sides of unissued material from that date too, with a much longer version of Hot House about 17 minutes long, and a very long versions of "Disorder at the Border" too.

Actually, on Bud´s birthday I listened to recordings he made at Birdland a month later, after he had returned to the States. Here he really plays great on some fast versions of "Hallelujah", "Get Happy" and "Just One of Those Things" and there is a tape recording of his birthday celebration with some friends where he is urged to "say something about his birthday" and says "I apreciate your efforts to make my birthday glad".....
