|
In commemorating what should have been the pianist's 70th birthday, Blue Note has followed Verve Records in issuing an epic 4-CD anthology of one of jazz's greatest innovators. THE COMPLETE BLUE NOTE AND ROOST RECORDINGS covers a ten year period, encompassing all of Powell's collaborations with producer Alfred Lion (plus those of Teddy Reig and Francis Wolff)--what aficionados consider to be his most consistent body of work. |
|
Bud Powell's mental and physical health have long been a major component in his mythology, and the Blue Note box is no exception. But for listeners not already saturated in jazz lore, the issue of Powell's technical decline is overrated. These nine sessions comprise a creative arc most improvisers will never approach--the pianist/composer's only significant competition was...Bud Powell. |
|
So while there's nothing quite like the headlong intensity of his 1951 Latin jazz masterpiece "Un Poco Loco," Powell's final 1958 Blue Note session with Philly Joe Jones and Sam Jones has plenty of soul and fire (particularly a Monkish "Marmalade"). Taken as a whole, the Blue Note tracks show his sensitivity and harmonic acumen growing ever deeper, even as his sheer technical authority waned and he began resorting to more customary pianistic devices such as block chord voicings. And as sublime ballads like "Embraceable You" prove, his expressive powers generally transcended his chops on a given day. Essential listening. |
