History
History
The recordings for the record label were made privately by French jazz aficionado Francis Paudras and willed to Bud Powell's daughter Cecilia Powell in 1979. Among the albums released by the record label were Early Years of a Genius, 44–48, Relaxin' at Home, Holidays in Edenville, Return to Birdland, and Award at Birdland. According to jazz critic Scott Yanow, "All of the releases will be wanted by the artist's greatest fans, but some are better than others. Vol. 1 is the most historic, for ten selections feature the innovative pianist at age 20 in 1944 as a sideman with trumpeter Cootie Williams's Orchestra." Among the sidemen on the albums were Johnny Griffin, J. J. Johnson, Lee Konitz, Art Blakey, Dizzy Gillespie, and Kenny Clarke.
