First, this album is filled with gems. There is no fluff or B-side material as far as I am concerned. Second, the tracks represent some of the best musicians of this genre from that era, not to mention that the bebop genre had matured and settled into a familiar structure by the time these recordings were made. And Bird is flying high on his own powers (not to mention the others who are on these tracks.) More importantly, they are the anthems of the bebop movement - seminal works - that deserve critical listening and study (and enjoyment for their own sake.)

Bud Powell was unquestionably a major talent. Sadly, he was also unquestionably mad. The legend of the tortured, tragic jazz genius exists because of people like Charlie Parker and Bud Powell. Both are bebop legends, among the greatest of the greats, founding fathers of the genre. Both were brought down by drugs and mental illness—Parker at 34, Powell at 41.
