Hey guys! Just got back in town after going on walkabout for a week or so. While I was away, I picked up this Bud Powell record. I've been listening to Bud for years, but just never heard this one. Man...dig Bud playing "Body and Soul". Just forget it. Wow. And what a treat to hear him play "Satin Doll"! I just love what he does with that song. And it's so special to me that it's on Frank's Reprise label. Love that old steamboat on the label. The record was apparently produced by Duke Ellington. There are probably a lot of you already familiar with this LP, but it's the first time I ever heard it. Bud Powell - thank you. You were so great. God touched you, and hear I am, blessed to hear you playing right now...
Glad you made it back home! That's so nice you found something at that record store, that made the trip even better. Wow, you really are gaga over that album!
Bud sounds good right now. Gonna follow your lead and find a Bud Powell album I haven't heard before.

Trying to explain to my eight-year-old the importance of this album (and Jazz in general)...
Something's gotta stick, right?
It actually just finished and it's already on my wish list to get on CD. Definitely buying this one. Philly Joe Jones drum work is really impressive as well.I don't think I've listened to this album either. As far as memory serves, anyway. I'll have to dig it up from our friendly neighborhood online shop.
