Bud Powell - The Definitive Bud Powell (2002)

Bud Powell changed the way that the piano is played in jazz, virtually inventing bebop-style piano. This sampler draws its music from his Blue Note sessions of 1947-1953, some of his finest recordings. Actually, with the exception of 1947's "Bud's Bubble" and "Glass Enclosure" from 1953, the music is all from 1949 or 1951. Three selections (including "Tempus Fugit" and "Celia") are played with bassist Ray Brown and drummer Max Roach, there are three unaccompanied piano solos from 1951 (including "Parisian Thoroughfare" and "Hallucinations"), and trio versions of "Un Poco Loco" and "Autumn in New York." Most exciting are meetings with trumpeter Fats Navarro and tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins on "Dance of the Infidels" and "Bouncing With Bud." Overall this is a fine (if brief) one-CD sampling of Bud Powell at his prime, although most jazz collectors will prefer to acquire the pianist's complete sessions.~Scott Yanow
