Title: Bud plus Griff!
Review: In Aug. 1964 pianist Bud Powell and his friend/guardian Francis Paudras went on vacation to Edenville on the coast of France. Powell played at a small club each night in a very relaxed atmosphere. This CD contains some of the performances, four songs with a trio (that includes bassist Guy Hayat and drummer Jacques Gervais) and, best of all, three hot numbers that feature tenor great Johnny Griffin ("Hot House", "Wee" and Monk's "Straight No Chaser"), who makes the group a fierce quartet. The recording quality is a little erratic on this set, but Powell often sounds quite inspired. (From All Music)
