Holidays in Edenville, 64, also known as Earl Bud Powell, Vol. 8, is a live album by jazz pianist Bud Powell and saxophone player Johnny Griffin recorded in Jullouville, France and released on Francis Paudras' Mythic Sound label. Recordings from the hotel gig, which ran for several nights in August, were also used on the albums Hot House, Salt Peanuts, and on one release of Blues for Bouffemont.[1]
Critic Scott Yanow praised the album, noting Powell's "strong form" but taking points off the album's rating due to its poor audio quality.[2]
The authors of The Penguin Guide to Jazz Recordings wrote: "the music has a strangely evocative quality, more redolent of a time long gone and a man no longer living than many a professional recording."
