2 out of 5 stars The worst sound of bud powell on verve.......2002-09-09

The content here is probably pretty good. I am not a Powell afficionado and left the picking and choosing to Verve. Verve should have left the sound to somebody else. The sound quality is just awful. The pitch is wrong most of the time which is probably due to tape stretch and speed problems. I guess it is a stretch to think that any recording before about 57 or 58 would sound worth a damn. Sorry Bud. You were born too soon and I guess died too young. Check out the Blue Note RVG's instead. Leave this one in the bargain bin.

3 out of 5 stars They gave it the wrong title........2000-02-24

Kind of a mixed bag. Powell's in his prime on some of these recordings. On others, he's definitely not the same. I owned this for a while and decided to trade it in for Genius of Bud Powell and Jazz Giant, two CDs which contain the real "Best of Bud Powell on Verve" Of these, my favorite (and coincidentally the cheaper) is "Genius"
