By Michael Brad Richman HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on July 18, 2009
Format: Audio CD
I've owned "Bud Powell: The Complete Blue Note and Roost Recordings" for going on twenty years, but only recently have I began to explore his recordings on Verve. After picking up "Jazz Giant," I decided next to get this recent reissue in the Originals series -- "Blues in the Closet." First released in 1956, this trio recording features the legendary pianist accompanied by Ray Brown on bass and Osie Johnson on drums. They stroll through an even mix of standards then and now, for all these songs are part of today's jazz repertoire, including terrific accounts of Dizzy's "Woody N' You" and Bird's "Now's the Time." The sound is superb, unlike the aforementioned 1950 session, and Bud still has great command of his instrument, which is not always the case on those various 60s live albums. Jazz fans, have no fear of what's hiding in Bud's closet!

This was Bud's last album for Verve and to my ears it's always been a winner. For this review I am going to sidestep the raging argument about these not being Bud's best years. Listen to the sound samples and judge that for yourself.

What makes this album so special to me is Ray Brown's bass and Ossie Johnson's drumming. Brown probably needs no introduction, but I will say that his melodic style is absolutely perfect on every track. Johnson is not exactly a household name, even among drummers, but is one of the most tasteful and accomplished drummers of his era - or any era actually. I would put him up there with Ed Thigpen for taste, and, frankly, he can hold his own with Kenny Clarke who made countless recordings with Bud.

One final thing that I love about this album - aside from the incredible music it contains - is when Bud, Ray and Ossie walked into the Fine Sound Studios in NYC to record this album on September 23, 1956 they laid down all twelve tracks in a single session. Discographies that I have cross-checked show no alternate or unissued takes. It boggles my mind to think that using the crude recording equipment of the era that this magic was captured in single takes. For reasons known to Verve this album was not released until 1958 (as Verve MGV 8218).

If you are a fan this is an essential album in my opinion. It certainly occupies a key spot in my library.

Everything Bud powell does is magic! If I could just play like this for one day in my life I would be happy.
