Pianist
Bud Powell's two recording sessions for Victor during 1956-57 resulted in 22 selections; this CD contains 18 of them.
Powell was not in the best of shape during this period and he is erratic in these trio outings with bassist
George Duvivier and drummer
Art Taylor. Quite frequently a brilliant chorus is followed by one in which
Powell gets lost, making the performances very interesting, to say the least.
