Thanks, the grille reminded me of a wonderful pair of horn loaded Lowthers a friend of mine used to have. What’s the rest of the system if you dont mind me asking?

I’m not familiar with that jazz group or is it the title of an album?

Tracks as Red Baron, Taurian Matador, le Lys are very very addictive. So one face of the lp. The other face is different, a bit noisy.
Glad you enjoyed it👍

Locked Down Jazz Appreciation - Album of the Week

48: Bud Powell: The Amazing Bud Powell Vol.1 (Blue Note)
Harlem-born pianist Powell didn’t live beyond his 41st birthday, but he made a profound
impact that can still be felt in contemporary jazz. Heavily influenced by the complex
language of bebop, in the late 40s Powell transposed the innovations of Charlie Parker
and Dizzy Gillespie onto the piano. Compiled from recordings made in 1949 and 1950,
The Amazing Bud Powell was the pianist’s first album, and it came out in 1952 when he
was 28. It contained his signature tune, ‘Un Poco Loco’ – a remarkable showcase for
Powell’s virtuosity, seasoned with Afro-Cuban flavours – and the equally brilliant
‘Bouncing With Bud’. The album, which also featured a 19-year-old Sonny Rollins, is one
of the best jazz albums by a pianist; it tore up the rule book and served as a memorable
introduction to a phenomenal musical talent.

Key song: ‘Bouncing With Bud’

Enjoy

Dave

I knew Dave Burns was in the ‘48 Gillespie Orchestra but he also had a season with Duke.
Sadly,the little information that can be cleaned is from his obituary.

Go on treat yourself.
