The master bebop pianist Bud Powell was in fine form when he recorded these classic works from his friend Charlie Parker's songbook. With bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor, the trio swung its way through such Parker gems as "Confirmation," "Relaxin' At Camarillo," "Billie's Bounce" and "Ornithology." As one of the leaders of the original bebop movement, Powell is in his element and pulls off some shining improvisations. The trio is a tight unit as Duvivier and Taylor catch every nuance of Powell's streaming right hand runs. In all, Parker and Powell's genius converge to produce a recording of the utmost significance.
Industry Reviews
...although he was past his peak of consistency and clean execution, he was still capable of electrifying pianism and creativity....indispensable for anyone seriously interested in jazz piano.
