The Scene Changes: The Amazing Bud Powell, Volume 5 (1958)

Bebop pioneer Bud Powell leads a late-career Blue Note session with bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Art Taylor, and the conversation is quick and witty. On his own Cleopatra's Dream, Powell's horn-like right-hand lines dart over Chambers's driving bass while Taylor's ride cymbal keeps prodding them forward. All nine tunes are Powell originals.
