Bud Powell, piano; Curly Russell, bass; Max Roach, drums.

Bud Powell commands the piano with the strength of most horn players. His bebop lines are fast and clean mirroring the solos of Parker and Gillespie. His comping (left hand) have shed the boom-chuck of the Swing Era and give a dissonant harmonic support to the melodic line in his right hand. His playing sounds contemporary today nearly forty years later.
