Curiosity got the best of me and I finally ordered a copy of this one.

Interesting, enjoyable. . . short.

Duke Ellington “The Conny Plank Session”

The third version of "Afrique" especially is quite involving, and it really shows what a presentation my amp the Decware SEWE300B can dish out!

"Herbie Nichols Trio" Blue Note Japan 85th Anniversary UHQCD

Fantastic music I will likely never tire of. This edition sounds very very good. The piano detail especially draws one in. It doesn't quite unseat my previous favorite editon, the Japanese "24 bit by RVG" which has such a meaty presentation.

This would be very very interesting. 

You mention Down Beat articles from the 60´s , that means after his comeback and return to Birdland ? 

Now, reading Levy´s bio about Sonny Rollins, Sonny met Bud after his return to the States, but I didn´t even know that his stay at Birdland was almost 6 weeks delated due to birocratie (carbaret card, old tax depts or something like that), and was cut short after not even 2 weeks ?! 

About your Bud collection: I have 2 sampler LPs of Bud´s stuff for Verve, but miss more variation, I like the Blue Note with Sonny Rollins and Fats, and above all the 2 LP set from Birdland with Bird, Fats and Blakey. 

And the album "Return of Bud Powell" usually is written off, but it is much better than the mid fifties recorded by Verve, I think. Better drumming, or let´s say audible drumming which I miss on some older studio records......

From all of Hank´s recordings after "Soul Station", I like this most !

I have never heard that and didn´t know about it. Cumbia and Jazz Fusion would be very interesting, I saw it live with Mingus in 77 or 78 before the album with the same title came out. 

I am quite astonished that it´s Kenny Garrett on alto, and not Ricky Ford on tenor.

Yes, a fantastic album, 'Vade Mecum' seems to be a further development of 'Intents and Purposes' and is just as good. Beautifully recorded and with incredible work by Tony Oxley (RIP).

Agreed ...

I´m a fan of any great Bud Powell, as well as early as well as late, with more preference for sessions with horns and of course sessions where you hear the drummer.....

My step into Bud´s music was the CBS Double Album "One Night at Birdland" from 1950 with Bird, Fats, Curley Russell and Art Blakey.
