By the autumn of 1953, one of the most active years of playing Bud Powell ever had, he had completely replaced the rhythm section of his trio. Gone were drummer Roy Haynes and Oscar Pettiford – who had been replaced by Mingus for a few dates earlier in the spring – and between September 5 and September 9, he'd gone through two more bass players, the estimable George Duvivier, who appears on tracks one through five, and finally by Curly Russell, who appears on two separate broadcasts from the ninth and the 26th of September. Drummer Art Taylor was a steady and had joined the band in June. The first half of this disc reveals Powell's interest in Latin rhythms for bebop.
