• Issued for the first time, a previously unknown concert by Bud Powell, recorded at The Hot Club, Geneva, Switzerland in 1962.

• Although Bud’s playing had become increasingly erratic, this was one of the rare times in which everything seemed to fit just right. Two outstanding duets by Bud with tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin, recorded in Paris in 1960, have been added as a bonus.

• Personnel : Bud Powell, piano; M. Cortesi, bass; Jackie Cavussin, drums. Live at the Hot Club, Geneva, Switzerland, February 1, 1962. Bonus tracks: Johnny Griffin, tenor sax; Bud Powell, piano; Paris, France, February 14, 1960. Total Time: 74:49 min. - 12 tracks.

• “The best of these numbers stand among Bud’s best recordings from any period. Bud must have been enjoying rare good health at the time of this Swiss session. The up-tempo numbers are played at top speed and, as if to show that the master is back, Bud includes many glittering runs.” Carl Smith, “Bouncing with Bud –The recordings of Bud Powell”

Reviews

Jazz Journal - Barry Witherden

Powell is in ebullient mood, bursting with engaging melodic ideas punched home with rhythmic verve.

The Jazz Rag - Hugh Ledigo

Not historic, but definitely one for Powell lovers.
