Our Take

After much anticipation and a few too many cups of coffee, we have finally arrived at the second volume of "The Best of Bud Powell 1944-62." And let me tell you, it's like being on a double-decker bus ride through the swinging jazz clubs of New York City in the 1940s.

From the very first track, Powell's piano skills hit you like a well-aimed cricket ball to the face - in the best possible way, of course. His nimble fingers dance across the keys with a virtuosity that would make even the most seasoned pianist feel like a mere amateur.

Each track on this compilation is a treasure trove of bebop brilliance, showcasing Powell's undeniable talent and range. Whether he's pounding out lively rhythms or caressing the keys with a tender touch, Powell's playing is nothing short of mesmerising.

And let's not forget the backing band on this record - they're like a crack team of musical superheroes, propelling each track to dizzying heights of swing and swagger. It's as if they're all wearing matching capes and flying through the air on a high note.

So, grab yourself a cup of tea, put on your best tweed jacket, and prepare to be taken on a journey through the golden age of jazz with Bud Powell. This album is a must-listen for any music lover with a penchant for bebop brilliance and a good old-fashioned knees-up. Cheers, old chap!
