The Scene Changes, also known as The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 5, is a studio album by American jazz pianist Bud Powell recorded at the Van Gelder Studio in Hackensack, New Jersey on December 29, 1958 and released on Blue Note the following year. Powell is backed by rhythm section Paul Chambers and Art Taylor.[6]

Release history

The album was digitally remastered in 2003 by Rudy Van Gelder and re-issued as part of Blue Note's The RVG Edition series.

Reception

DownBeat noted, "Powell on these tracks is original, and he sounds secure in what he is playing. It is good to hear."[2] Marc Davis of All About Jazz described "Crossin' the Channel" as the album's "standout," calling it "a breathless barn burner that harkens back to the early hyper-speedy days of bebop." Davis praised the album as a whole, calling it "awfully good" but highlighting Vol.'s 1 and 2 of The Amazing Bud Powell as his favorite albums of the series.[6]
