Bud!, also known as The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 3, is a studio album by American jazz pianist Bud Powell recorded at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey on August 3, 1957 and released on Blue Note later that year. Powell is backed by rhythm section Paul Chambers and Art Taylor, with guest appearances from trombonist Curtis Fuller on three tracks. [4] Most of the tracks on the album were recorded in one or two takes, according to Chambers. [5]
The album was first released in 1957 as a 12" LP.
In 1989, the album was digitally remastered and released on CD with an extra alternate take of "Blue Pearl", and with the tracks listed in session chronological order. The version of the album included on the third disc of The Complete Blue Note and Roost Recordings , a 4 disc box set, is that from the first CD release in 1989. [6]
The album was digitally remastered in 2001 by Rudy Van Gelder and re-issued in January, 2002 as part of Blue Note's The RVG Edition series. The track listing was changed back to the original LP order, with the alternate take of "Blue Pearl" following.
Dom Cerulli of DownBeat recommended the album, noting, "Bud displays such artistry and such genuine genius, that it may well stand among the classic examples of his work in the years to come." He described "Bud on Bach" as "THE track in the set." [2]
All tracks are written by Bud Powell, except as noted.
