2	Jazz Giant (195?) more music like this by Bud Powell Faced with the choice of any single Bud Powell date to aptly represent his intense musical genius, choosing Jazz Giant would not be a bad bet. Culled from two sessions (Spring 1949 and Winter 1950) this Verve release showcases the master of Bebop piano leading a trio - a setting in which he excelled. With impeccable support from bassist Ray Brown ... see all copies from $4.41! new only from $16.89!
3	Bouncing with Bud [Delmark] (1962) more music like this by Bud Powell This Delmark recording is an excellent set by the great pianist Bud Powell in a trio with the teenage bassist Niels Pederson and drummer William Shiopffe.

All eight selections (which put the ... see all copies from $6.50! new only from $10.42!
4	The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1 [Expanded] (1949) more music like this by Bud Powell This CD gives one a strong sampling of pianist Bud Powell at his best. Powell is heard on a classic session with trumpeter Fats Navarro and tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins (which is highlighted by exciting versions of "Dance of the Infidels," "52nd Street Theme," and "Bouncing With Bud") and in a trio for "Over the Rainbow" and his intense "Un ... see all copies from $6.23! new only from $10.79!
5	Late Night Piano (1998) more music like this by Various Artists Late Night Piano gives listeners a look at the intimate side of jazz piano, with tracks from Erroll Garner, Bill Evans, Count Basie, George Shearing, Bud Powell and even Antonio Carlos Jobim. Keith Farley, All Music Guide see all copies from $1.99! new only from $4.98!
6	The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1 (1949) more music like this by Bud Powell The CD reissues of the two albums titled The Amazing Bud Powell put the important recordings in chronological order (which they weren't in the LP versions) and add some alternate takes; all of the music has also been included in a definitive four-CD box set. Although the latter is the best way to acquire the important performances, this CD gives ... see all copies from $2.99! new only from $23.39!
7	The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 3: Bud! [Expanded] (2002) more music like this by Bud Powell Bud Powell's playing in the late '50s (just prior to his move to Paris) found the troubled pianist in erratic form, often struggling to make it through songs he had written. However, his three Blue Note recordings from the era (which include the slightly later Time Waits and The Scene Changes) feature Powell in surprisingly inspired form; all of ... see all copies from $4.99! new only from $11.13!
8	The Complete Cole Porter Songbooks (1993) more music like this by Various Artists This is not and cannot be the Complete Cole Porter Songbooks, but it's a marvelous collection of 48 timeless jazz interpretations drawn from the Verve catalog. Recorded between 1951 and 1988, these standards, ballads and show tunes are rendered by some 15 vocalists, many of whom appear twice, and about 13 instrumental groups. In addition to the ... see all copies from $31.99! new only from $31.99!
9	Smithsonian Collection of Jazz Piano, Vol. 2 (1989) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $1.99!
10	The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 2 [Expanded] (1951) more music like this by Bud Powell The influential bebop pioneer (who not only set the standard for bop pianists but largely invented the style) is heard on fine trio performances from 1951 (with bassist Curly Russell and drummer Max Roach) and 1953 (during which he is matched with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor). Highlights include "A Night in Tunisia," "Reets and ... see all copies from $10.79! new only from $10.79!
11	Tempus Fugue-It (2001) more music like this by Bud Powell This is a fascinating, revelatory, deeply moving, and completely captivating collection of Bud Powell material that hasn't readily seen the light of day before, despite the fact that almost all of it has been commercially released at one time or another. The material over these four discs ranges from pre-bebop years, with Cootie Williams from 1944 ... see all copies from $23.63! new only from $23.63!
12 view cover	Jazz 'Round Midnight: Piano (1991) more music like this by Various Artists Another fine sampler from Verve, Jazz ‘Round Midnight: Piano offers up a after-hours mix featuring some of the music's top ivory tinklers. Starting off with Lester Young's classic reading of "Mean to Me" from 1945 (prominently featuring Nat Cole showing of his early genius at the keys), the 15 tracks include both solo and combo sides by the famous ... see all copies from $40.96!
13 view cover	Salt Peanuts (1964) more music like this by Bud Powell In Aug. 1964 pianist Bud Powell and his friend/guardian Francis Paudras went on vacation to Edenville on the coast of France. Powell played at a small club each night in a very relaxed atmosphere. This CD contains some of the performances, four songs with a trio (that includes bassist Guy Hayat and drummer Jacques Gervais) and, best of all, three ... see all copies from $13.95!
14 view cover	Live in Lausanne, 1962 (2002) more music like this by Bud Powell Bud Powell was known for the erratic nature of his recording sessions and live performances, but when he was on, as during this 1962 live date aired by Lausanne Radio, there was no stopping him. Accompanied by bassist Bob Jaquillard and drummer Mike Stevenot (hardly recognizable names compared to Powell's frequent collaborators in Europe, Pierre ... see all copies from $5.95! new only from $6.75!
15 view cover	Inner Fires (1953) more music like this by Bud Powell This album features trio performances by pianist Bud Powell, bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Roy Haynes that were recorded live at a Washington D.C. club; they were released for the first time in 1982. Powell is in consistently exciting form (this was one of his good nights) and the musicians sound inspired and creative during the set of bop ... see all copies from $5.99! new only from $14.92!
16 view cover	Bud Plays Bird (1957) more music like this by Bud Powell Previously unissued until 1996, this trio session by pianist Bud Powell with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor is better than his Verve recordings of the period if not quite up to the level of his earlier classic Blue Note dates. Actually it is a mystery how such excellent music could be unknown and go unreleased for so long. Powell ... see all copies from $8.85! new only from $8.85!
17 view cover	Eternity (2004) more music like this by Bud Powell These previously unreleased solo piano performances were recorded by photographer Francis Paudras in France and are from an extensive tape collection owned by Celia Powell, Bud's daughter. Although Bud Powell's playing was erratic during the era, he is in generally excellent form on the 13 solos. The piano is not always perfectly in tune, but it ... see all copies from $8.79! new only from $13.57!
18 view cover	Strictly Powell (1956) more music like this by Bud Powell Bud Powell's two dates for RCA in 1956-1957 are better than expected. Although troubled, Powell actually plays better on Strictly Powell than on his Verve dates of the period. Backed by bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor, the pianist is heard in fine form during a program of mostly mid-tempo and slower performances, particularly on ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
19 view cover	Paris Sessions (2002) more music like this by Bud Powell Recorded between 1957 and 1964, Paris Sessions captures Bud Powell late in his career in a variety of settings, in the studio and live. This collection reissues only a few choice tracks from the numerous recordings made by the pianist's friend and guardian, Francis Paudras. While critics and fans have noted the erratic nature and hesitations of ... see all copies from $4.92! new only from $10.35!
20 view cover	Swingin' with Bud (1957) more music like this by Bud Powell The immortal pianist Bud Powell's two RCA sets from 1956-1957 have been unjustly neglected through the years. Superior to his Verve releases from the time (although not on the same level as his Blue Note dates), Powell is in generally good form on this trio session with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor. Highlights include "Like ... see all copies from $9.00! new only from $9.00!
21 view cover	It Had to Be You (1998) more music like this by Various Artists see all copies from $4.59! new only from $13.59!
22 view cover	The Definitive Bud Powell (2002) more music like this by Bud Powell Bud Powell changed the way that the piano is played in jazz, virtually inventing bebop-style piano. This sampler draws its music from his Blue Note sessions of 1947-1953, some of his finest recordings. Actually, with the exception of 1947's "Bud's Bubble" and "Glass Enclosure" from 1953, the music is all from 1949 or 1951. Three selections ... see all copies from $9.99! new only from $9.99!
23 view cover	Bebop (2004) more music like this by Bud Powell There have been multiple releases from Bud Powell's later years, and some have shown that the pianist -- on occasion -- could still deliver phenomenal work (his work became increasingly erratic after 1951). Bebop, gathering live recordings from New York and France between 1948 and 1964, likewise attempts to highlight Powell's later work. The ... see all copies from $13.64! new only from $13.64!
24 view cover	Parisian Thoroughfares (2003) more music like this by Bud Powell By the 1950s, pianist Bud Powell was beset by schizophrenia and alcoholism, and, as Paul De Barros notes, "It's amazing Powell continued to make music at all." While living in Paris in the late '50s and early '60s, however, he did make music, and recorded a number of live sessions at Club Saint-Germain and the Blue Note. The arrangements vary ... see all copies from $10.35! new only from $10.35!
25 view cover	A Portrait of Thelonious (1961) more music like this by Bud Powell This CD reissue is one of the most rewarding Bud Powell recordings to come from his period in France. Powell (along with bassist Pierre Michelot and drummer Kenny Clarke) explores four of Thelonious Monk's tunes, Earl Bostic's "No Name Blues" and the standard "There Will Never Be Another You" but it is the final two numbers ("I Ain't Foolin'" and ... see all copies from $13.50! new only from $13.50!
