Bud Powell update

Got this email from Peter Pullman, author of a recent Bud Powell biography :

"Dear Friends, Old and New; Colleagues; and All Others Who Would Like to Listen to Bud Powell:

I'll be on WBGO's Jazz from the Archives, with host Dan Morgenstern, on consecutive Sunday evenings, 30 September and 7 October, from 11:00  pm to midnight (Eastern). This Sunday evening series is a long-running coproduction of the NPR affiliate and Institute of Jazz Studies, Rutgers  University.

Tune in to 88.3FM, Newark (or go to www.wbgo.org) on these evenings to hear Bud Powell's music and my reading of excerpts  from my new biography, Wail: The Life of Bud Powell.

Also, as some already know, I'll be selling a paperback edition of my work from mid-October. It will be available at my website.

In another development, NPR's music website will honor Powell with a new segment in its Take 5 series. Go to www.npr.org to see and hear five recordings of his that have been posted there.

I  hope that all of this will amount to my work getting more interest and reviews from the critical community.

Bud would have turned eighty-eight on Thursday, 27.IX.12."

ROIO of the week : Bud Powell - Oslo 1962

The series presented on BBC concerning BeBop made me wonder about Bud Powell. His influence on the Bop must never be underestimated and is a good reason to start a series of ROIO's on Bud.
Here are the details, links are at their usual place. Enjoy.

Bud Powell trio
Oslo, Norway
September 1962

Bud Powell (p)
Erk Amundsen (b)
Ole Jacob hansen (d)

1) I Remember Clifford
2) Hot House
3) 52nd Street Theme
4) Dance of the Infidels

Radio broadcast>reel−to−reel> music casette> Sound Forge>CDR

This was recorded by the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation during Bud’s stay in Oslo, in the last third of September. Some tracks are missing either at the beginning or at the end. Definitely not hi−fi.
