In the late 1940s, Blue Note founderAlfred Lionbecame enthralled with the modern sounds of bebop and began recording several of the new musics innovators including the brilliant pianistBud Powell, whoLiondubbed The Amazing Bud Powell.Powellcould be erratic, but as a producerLionalways seemed to draw the best out of the piano master, and cut numerous classic sides including Un Poco Loco and Bouncing with Bud. The fourth volume of The Amazing Bud Powell series, titledTime Waits, was recorded in 1958 and foundPowellin particularly fine form on an ebullient set of his original tunes including Buster Rides Again, Monopoly, and Johns Abbey.Powellsplaying is endlessly inventive as he takes flight in a trio setting with bassistSamJonesandPhillyJoeJones, who elevates the session with some of his most inspired drumming on record.
