Award at Birdland, 64, also known as Earl Bud Powell, Vol. 10, is a live album by jazz pianist Bud Powell, recorded at Birdland on October 1, 1964, with bassist John Ore and drummer J. C. Moses. It was released by the Mythic Sound label in 1989.^[1]

Scott Yanow noted that "the recording quality is quite erratic" and described it as "not the strongest Bud Powell set available," but also commented that "this interesting release hints at what might have been and shows that Powell could still play well this late in his troubled life."^[1]

The Penguin Guide to Jazz gave a higher rating and described Powell's performances at Birdland as "the last great sessions of his life."^[2]
