Dance Of The Infidels is a jazz bebop tune from Bud Powell's 1953 Birdland session. The composition is credited to Bud Powell with contributions by Charles Mingus, Art Taylor, and Charlie Parker. It was released in 1953 on the Birdland 1953 album, and the track runs about 5:30. The piece showcases Powell's piano fire with Parker's alto lines and a robust rhythm section - Mingus on bass and Taylor on drums - capturing the high-energy New York bebop scene of the era. It later appeared on compilation releases such as the Dance Of The Infidels collection, highlighting Powell's modernist bebop style and the collaborative spirit of the Birdland group.
