BUD POWELL
Bud Powell - The Complete Blue Note and Roost Recordings [1994] (4xCD's)
This four CD set represents all of the recordings that Bud Powell made for Blue Note and Roost Records between 1947 and 1963. The music presented is generally in a trio format, with many Powell originals amongst the choice standards. Overall, this set represents Bud Powell at his finest. Never did he play any better than what is presented on the Blue Note recordings. Backed by the likes of Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums many of the tunes stand as definitive versions. These Bud Powell CD's get better with subsequent listening's. The genius of Bud Powell is of such depth that one or two listening's only begins to scratch the surface. I feel the same about the complete Blue Note Bud Powell collection. (I recommend both.) One simply cannot own too much Bud Powell. I urge Bud Powell fans to read Bud Powell's biography, Dance of the Infidels: A Portrait of Bud Powell by Francis Paudras. It may be hard to get, but it's well worth the effort. Bud's piano genius is all the more astounding when one learns of the hard life he led and the indignities he suffered. (Amazon)
