BUD POWELL - BUD! (200g MONO LP)

BUD POWELL/BUD! (200g MONO LP)

The third and quite possibly the best, of a trio of recordings for Blue Note that are considered a triumph for this tortured artist. One of the true architects of be-bop, Powell’s recording history, like his personal life, experienced extreme highs and lows. Before moving to Europe, Blue Note was able to capture him in variety of groupings. This August 3, 1957 date from Rudy Van Gelder’s Hackensack studio is damn near sheer perfection. Trio-mates Art Taylor on drums and Paul Chamber’s bass offer the perfect compliment to Powell’s five original compositions, with an outpouring of swing, blues and improvisation. A unique choice of a complimenting horn finds a quite young Curtis Fuller on trombone on three standards. Powell adds a fun break in the action with his s! olo, ba roque-bop Bud On Bach. Cut on Classic's all tube pure mono cutting system by Bernie 'be-bop' Grundman from the original full track mono master tapes and pressed on Classic's proprietary 200g Super Vinyl Profile. Another 'must have' installment in Classic Blue Note Signature Mono LP Series.
