Man I hope you live a long life, closest I got to Bud Powell was by way of his protégé Walter Bishop Jr. He told me when he was 17 he had a Bud Powell album and copied it note for note and stated hanging out with Bud, Bird, Miles, Monk and others at Milton's club in Harlem, it's hard to believe all these cats are gone now.
Amazing! Do you know why nordic countries and Germany were the only people to record them so much? Dolphy, Mingus, many of them great tours in Europe and specifically the fact that they were video recorded. Any idea why?
@@erickricardoflores8472 America had no idea what they had produced, the importance and greatness of it, and still don't, by and large...The French, Scandinavians, Germans etc. heard artists such as Bud and Bird, got it, and instantly and correctly equated it to the great music their own countries and composers had produced over the centuries...
Bud Powell lived in Copenhagen for a while. At the time of this take bassist Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen was just 15 ys old, to turn 16 on May 27th. Btw the drummer's first name is Jørn (Elniff).
His smile through out much of 'round midnight - I've never thought it before - but its like he's bringing out a playful horror/gothic feel, certainly not diminished by the wobbly tape. Monk to my knowledge had this mode in tunes like Friday the 13th , and not just in the title, but the tune has a mocking quality, something like those organists who played for silent cinema might have conjured up , but in live performances I've not heard Monk take this approach with 'round midnight.
I grew up in Denmark, I left in 1967 to become an au pair in Westport Ct. However before I left Denmark my friends and I would take the bus or train into Copenhagen to hear Dexter Gordon play (I grew up 30 miles south of Copenhagen) When I was 16 I went to a boarding school for the summer. Niels Henning's dad was the head master, his whole family is musical. His mother and sister played the church organ, and his older brother was fairly well known jazz musician in Denmark. I think he had one other older brother that I don't remember much about.
The piano was a tenor horn - left the rhythm sections to the bass and drummer- though he could comp and chord voice you to Jupiter- definitely one of the best to ever play American classical music
He was definitely having an on-night here, which was not always the case by this point in his life. Bud suffered from mental illness stemming from brutal NYPD police beatings with billy-clubs to his head and subsequent involuntary and inhumane electro-shock 'treatment' at forced hospital stays in the USA in the late '40's/early '50's, prior to his relocating to Europe, and really never recovered.
Pure cinema, magnificent camerawork. Powell, tho well tempered, suicidally virtuoso. Unfortunately 'Round About' 7:00 the whole thing becomes suitable case for treatment
Those were the days. I were there, and I Will never forget that evening.🇩🇰🇩🇰🇩🇰
That makes you a Legend

Special genius in his phrasing

uuuuuhhhh! the master!!

I love the edit at 2:37 with every fiber of my being
Opening song is; Anthropology, followed by Round Midnight.

To think that NHOP is 15 here...Kinda depressing but also really inspiring
wow thats insane
The first number is stellar. Thank You.
Won't be another like Bud for at least 100 more years.
there will never be another bud powell.
Lots of pianists can play like that. He was the original tho.
@@clintjones9848 Once you've had the original, there is no other
In an era of jazz greats, Bud was a giant.
So good!!!
great upload, wish only the 2nd trek was audiable...
Luciano invernizzi, I was there❤
Thank You!
To see- Bud- he is singing with both hands in a higher language- the blissful oblivious- plenitude- Royal American 🇺🇸
Universally loved by white and black alike! ❤
Bird on piano
With an original twist
The piano was a tenor horn - left the rhythm sections to the bass and drummer- though he could comp and chord voice you to Jupiter- definitely one of the best to ever play American classical music
Thanks for these clips- Bud playing round about midnight!!!!! Nivarna
Too bad the tape’s audio is off ‘Tracking’ but since there are not many videos of the great Bud Powell, this is still Gold!
this effect is crazy. it gives it a misterious and creepy vibe
WONDERFUL
I'm here cause' of the "round midnight" movie.
round midnite seems to be spoiled by some sort of warbling in the sdtrck?
Increíble
The lick he played at 9:37 was sweet
This fellow is pretty good.

このperformansでのBudはかなり体調が良いみたいですね。この時期にしては。

what does it sound like that? like a change in pitch on the piano solo
It's just the tape warble from an old recording
@@dylangamble4810 I actually like it

指が以外に短い、それでもこの演奏、素晴らしい、独特の気品、バップフレーズの炸裂、それがまた良い❗️😾❗️🎵🤓
