Blues In The Closet
CD (Item 612279) Verve (Japan), 1956 — Condition: New Copy
The title gets it right – as the album's definitely one of the most bluesy ever cut by Bud Powell for Verve – a sweet little set with a sound that's slightly gentler than usual, but still filled with plenty of dark corners and modern tones! The trio here features Ray Brown on bass and Osie Johnson on drums – both more understated players who really let the sound of Powell's piano dominate the record – so much so that it almost seems as if the keys of Bud's instrument were recorded at a much higher level in the mix. Powell uses this presence to display a great array of stark notes and sharp feelings – moments that ring out beautifully even in some of the mellower, more familiar tunes on the set. Titles include "I Should Care", "Be Bop", "Fifty Second Street Theme", "I Know That You Know", "Elogie", "When I Fall In Love", and "Blues In The Closet". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. | |||||
