Bud Powell – The Lonely One

LABEL: Verve Records – MG V-8301

FORMAT:  Vinyl, LP, Album, First press Mono Deep Groove

REALESED: 1959

COUNTRY: US

NOTE: the most striking cut is the session's first. On "Mediocre," Powell plays a repetitive melody over a descending series of chords for about three minutes, making increasingly outré variations on the melody rather than soloing over the chords. Slyly humorous, in the manner of Monk, for the first minute or so, the descending chords become increasingly disjointed and mechanical as the record progresses.

 “His virtuosity led many to call him the Charlie Parker of the piano”

SIDE 1 and 2: Very Good (VG+) Vinyl is shiny shows several light scuff, nothing deep or fileable I played both sides of the record several times and Both sides play through beautifully with very light backgrounds noise occasionally during playback with bold audio. Majority of background noise will be heard during quiet passes, in between tracks, and on intro and dead waxes. No skips, that impact the sound quality. 

 CONDITION OF SLEEVE: Very Good (VG) Discoloration, marks, corners creases and scratches. Sleeve intact but 5” seam split at top and bottom of the cover, ink pen in the back. But the artwork is still attractive.
