In the late 1940s, Blue Note founder Alfred Lion became enthralled with the modern sounds of bebop and began recording several of the new musics innovators including the brilliant pianistBud Powell, who Lion dubbed The Amazing Bud Powell. Powell could be erratic, but as a producer Lion always 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 found Powell in particularly fine form on an ebullient set of his original tunes including Buster Rides Again, Monopoly, and Johns Abbey. Powells playing is endlessly inventive as he takes flight in a trio setting with bassistSam JonesandPhilly Joe Jones, who elevates the session with some of his most inspired drumming on record.
