Relaxin' at Home, 61–64, also known as Earl Bud Powell, Vol. 4, is an album by jazz pianist Bud Powell, released in 1989 from material recorded by Powell, bassist Michel Gaudry, and Francis Paudras at Paudras' home in Paris between 1961 and 1964.[1]
Jazz critic Scott Yanow noted, "Powell is heard playing solo piano quite loosely at Francis Paudras's home, the recording quality is erratic and (despite some creative outburtsts) some of the selections are throwaways."
The Penguin Guide to Jazz awarded the album three of four stars and noted, "Paudras scuffs out a brush rhythm over Powell's unselfconscious improvisations."[2]
