結局のところ、バド・パウエルの（レコード盤で辿れる）活動期間は1944年から没年の1966年まで。初期は簡易な録音手段が乏しいことから、存外に音源は少ない。
少なくともリーダ作的なものは、簡単にそこそこ集まる。
そのなかでBoot紛いのライヴ音源が面白い。生のパウエルを聴くが如くの、不思議な臨場感がある。そのなかで、1953年のバードランドでのセッションは、ラジオ放送が録音されたエアチェック盤で、なんと、あのESPからまとめて出ている。
左は、これまた「あの」ビーナスからの日本盤CDで２枚組。右は上記音源と同じ米盤CDで３枚組。
エアチェック盤なので、音質はアレなのだけど、案外にバランスが良く聴ける音なのだ。びっくり。
で、エヴァンス・ラファロのバードランドセッションもそうなのだけど、これがレコードとの相性が良い。CDの16bitのダイナミックレンジが無駄で、なんとなく高域の粗がきになるのだ。レコードの場合、そのあたりが入らない（媒体として能力がない）ので、丁度なのだろう。
ESPでのバードランド音源は、本家では１枚。意味不明のジャケットで出ている。
日本では1977年に４枚出ている。
ぼけっと聴いていると、ジャズの熱気、パウエルのピアニズムの香気漂うライヴ空間が楽しい。
