5.0 out of 5 stars
Bud Powell, rising, July 11, 2001
This review is from: Bud's Bubble: 1944/1947 (Audio CD)
This fine collection gathers up material from other recordings, most of it available elsewhere. It is, however, nice to have these performances in one volume, as an exploration of Powell as he quickly rose to his unmatchable zenith, comparable as a creator to Charlie Parker and untouchable as a pianist. The first eight consist of tracks from the legendary 1947 Roost trios. The last four are from Charlie Parker's 1947 Savoy sessions. Also included are 1946 recordings with Dexter Gordon.
