Great 1962 performace by Bud. And recommanded to those who always say that Bud in the later years had lost much of his tehnical skills. This is top Bud Powell, period.

Great selection of bop standards and moving ballads. 

The two bonus tracks Bud-Griffin duo have already been issued on the Xanadu album "Bud in Paris". And as on the Xanadu LP, also here the recording years is wrong. The two tunes with Griffin in Paudras´ home were not done in 1960, but in 1964. In 1960 Griffin was not in Paris, and Bud had not started to be recorded in Paudras´ home. This was much later.

Just heard a track on WWOZ and now playing via Spotify.

Kenny Dorham`s final leader date .... hard to believe but true ....

Yes, really hard to believe. And this album was hard to find at least when I became a BN collector. All other albums were already reissued as RVG, but this one was only available on japanese cardboard after a long time.

Was reissued as vinyl in Japan only via the very last batch (of a long running Blue Note Series by King Record Japan) in 1983 ....

Funnily enough, very much available in vinyl in Europe from 1983/84 via the Pathe Macaroni series from France, which is how I got my first copy.

A shop over here called Habitat were even at one time selling box framed art of this sleeve art for a relative pittance. I’ve got one sat in my lounge.

From the post 1973 live double albums of Miles´ Group I like this most. It was a great group, the one with Dave Liebman

[HutchFan]

The vibe (no pun intended) of this record reminds me of Jimmy Giuffre's trio with Paul Bley & Steve Swallow. Different instrumentation, of course -- although both trios featured clarinet. More importantly, I think they share a similar approach to composing & improvising. A sort of quiet avant-garde-ism.

One of my favourites of the ‘Brown Bag’ twofer series. Still have it - even though I play the Mosaic more often these days.

Yes!  Candido brings something a little different to the table.

I've never heard that ^ Nucleus record. ... I'm still eyeing the Torrid Zone set. I've been hesitant to spring for it because I already have some of the music on BGO reissues.

Decisions, decisions. Ah, the "difficulties" of a jazz collector's life!  

 

[sidewinder]

‘Torrid Zone’ is definitely recommended on the basis of the mastering alone. I have quite a few of them on vinyl and it is so good that this set is the ‘go to’. Can’t ask for more than that !
