The title track, a version of the Mexican popular song "Duerme", was recorded by Powell in 1954 for Verve, and in 1956 for RCA, under its original English-language title "Time Was".

The album was remastered in 1999 by Rudy Van Gelder and re-issued as part of Blue Note's RVG Edition series.

Reception

Billboard praised the album, noting, "Bud Powell is still one of the best of the hard-playing pianists."^[3]
