Excellent but unfortunately King's decision to put a picture of Percy on the back cover has led a lot of people to think the entire album is Percy on tenor but its not.

Percy tracks are #2, Honey Boy, #7 Percy Speaks, #11, Who's Who (Clifford Scott is the second soloist) and #12, Early Bird.

Thanks for that clarification.  The only info I had was what accompanies the posted video on YouTube.

Those 5 CDs or LPs are the best to hear really Extended work of Bud Powell in a Nightclub.

This, together with "So much Guitar" also for the Riverside label was a 2-fer LP set when I was beginning to listen to jazz. It was my first Wes Montgomery and I liked it from the first note on. 

I still love it very much .

Too flowery, you mean?

Perhaps...his harmonic machinations are clever, certainly, but perhaps too much of a good thing too often and for too long? Eventually the math shows thorough and the charm diminishes.

No disrespect to the man, he's certainly a proven and respectable quantity, But he doesn't always set his hook when this fish nibbles, and I usually throw the hook, if not immediately, then eventually.

Bud Powell's recordings at the GC, are among my favorite trio recordings ever. I prefer these recordings over his BN and Verve and not just because these are live recordings.

Talk about niche music...especially after reading Ned Rorem's fascinating liner notes...apparently there was an entire world going on that only a very few people knew about?

Some of this stuff is better than some other, but there are some really interesting things here.

Disc 6: I bought 3 out of the 7 discs from a member here for $18 a couple of years ago.  I'm glad that I have some of the set, but I don't know if I'd spring for the whole thing when there is so much other Bird out there in higher fidelity.

Joining Mr. Earland at this 1997 concert were Jimmy McGriff, Johnny Hammond Smith, Dr. Lonnie Smith, Jim Rotondi, Eric Alexander, Frank Catalano and more.  The stand out track for me is Mr. Earland's romp through his classic "I Love You More Today Than Yesterday".  That never gets old for me.
