Bud Powell – Time Waits: The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 4 (SHM-SACD single layer)

On “Time Waits: The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 2”, which the American jazz pianist recorded in a trio formation with Sam Jones (double bass) and “Philly” Joe Jones (drums), the master of bebop piano is in top form: The rousing program includes famous original pieces such as “Buster Rides Again”, “Monopoly” and “John’s Abbey”, in which Powell displays all his skills in a series of brilliant solos. The original recordings for Blue Note took place on May 24, 1958 at the Rudy Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey.

As part of the extremely popular “Blue Note 85th Anniversary Reissue Series”, Universal Music Japan presents the sonically impressive remastering of this jazz classic by the legendary Kevin Gray, who is also responsible for the analog reissues of Blue Note US such as “Tone Poet” and “Classic Vinyl” – as a limited-edition, high-resolution SHM-SACD version (192 kHz/24 bit, Single-Layer).

This title is an SHM SACD. This format is the further development of the single-layer SACD and uses a particularly light-transparent plastic (Super High Material). It allows a much better readability of the pit-land structures on the surface than is possible with hybrid SACDs. Universal’s SHM SACDs are generally re-digitized to DSD from the albums’ master tapes without any changes. SHM SACDs can be played on any SACD player. Please do not use L’Art du Son or alcohol-based cleaning agents. – Please note: All titles are designed by Universal Music as limited edition collector’s items for the Japanese market.
