Bud Powell - Bouncing With Bud (1990) CD Rip

On Bouncing With Bud, the legendary American piano trailblazer, bebop architect, and masterfully panoramic jazz genius Bud Powell steps under the European studio spotlight to deliver a towering, historically luminous, and profoundly moving trio document. Recorded in Copenhagen in 1962 and preserved beautifully on compact disc in 1990 by the specialized vanguard legacy independent imprint Delmark Records, this monumental milestone stands as an exceptionally fluid, high-octane monument capturing Powell’s later European period in stellar form. Spanning over 42 minutes of immaculate high-fidelity spatial design, the 8-track landscape operates with an intense, beautifully syncopated, and masterfully balanced kinetic energy. Powell acts as a brilliant sonic visionary with his acoustic piano, weaponizing complex harmonic chordal substitutions and his unmistakable, driving linear velocity—firing off spectacular landmarks like the storming opener Rifftide, an exuberant reimagining of his timeless title track anthem Bouncing With Bud, a blazing run through Denzil Best's Move, and a deeply touching, emotionally charged reading of Benny Golson's ballad I Remember Clifford. Backed by the extraordinary, rapid-fire double bass telemetry of a young Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen and the crisp drumming paths of William Schiöpffe, this archive remains an indispensable masterpiece for serious jazz purists and acoustic piano trio collectors worldwide.
