Bud Powell • Blues In The Closet

 

Review by Mark Keresman
In the bebop revolution of the 1940’s, as Charlie Parker was the leading voice of the alto saxophone, so was Bud Powell the leading voice of the piano. Recorded in 1956 (before his Paris sojourn), the long-unavailable BLUES IN THE CLOSET features Powell’s lightning-fast runs and nimble keyboard navigations on a set of originals and well-chosen standards. He is accompanied by Osie Johnson, a solid mainstream drummer, and the dean of jazz bassists, Ray Brown. A must for Powell fans and bop devotees.

Reseña de Mark Keresman
En la revolución del bebop de la década de 1940, así como Charlie Parker era la voz principal del saxofón alto, también lo era Bud Powell la voz principal del piano. Grabado en 1956 (antes de su estancia en París), BLUES IN THE CLOSET, que no estuvo disponible durante mucho tiempo, presenta las carreras ultrarrápidas de Powell y sus ágiles navegaciones con el teclado en un conjunto de originales y estándares bien elegidos. Lo acompañan Osie Johnson, un sólido baterista convencional, y el decano de los bajistas de jazz, Ray Brown. Imprescindible para los fans de Powell y los devotos del bop.
