2 CD With Book
Inventive at every instant, a musician of hair-raising virtuosity and merciless rhythm, at once an artist both heart-rending and torn apart, Bud Powell (1924-1966) counts as one of the jazz piano greats. In the bebop style in which he expressed himself, he remains a landmark pianist whose influence is still felt today through the imprint of those who already owed him much, from Bill Evans to Oscar Peterson and McCoy Tyner. The career of Bud Powell was, alas, a constant descent into hell, resulting from the aftereffects of a violent battering followed by abuse of alcohol and drugs. Torn between those who tried to preserve him and those who sought to take advantage of him by driving him ever deeper, Bud Powell finally yielded - but not before he gave us some of the most indispensable music from one of the greatest eras in jazz. The selection presented here contains the best recordings made by the pianist at the summit of his art, between 1947 and 1953.
Bud Powell
Active Decades: '40s, '50s and '60s
Born: Sep 27, 1924 in New York, NY
Died: Jul 31, 1966 in New York, NY
Genre: Jazz
Styles: Bop
One of the giants of the jazz piano, Bud Powell changed the way that virtually all post-swing pianists play their instruments. He did away with the left hand striding that had been considered essential earlier and used his left hand to state chords on an irregular basis. His right often played speedy single-note lines, essentially transforming Charlie Parker's vocabulary to the piano (although he developed parallel to "Bird").
Tragically, Bud Powell was a seriously ill genius. After being encouraged and tutored to an extent by his friend Thelonious Monk at jam sessions in the early '40s, Powell was with Cootie Williams' orchestra during 1943-1945. In a racial incident, he was beaten on the head by police; Powell never fully recovered and would suffer from bad headaches and mental breakdowns throughout the remainder of his life. Despite this, he recorded some true gems during 1947-1951 for Roost, Blue Note, and Verve, composing such major works as "Dance of the Infidels," "Hallucinations" (also known as "Budo"), "Un Poco Loco," "Bouncing With Bud," and "Tempus Fugit." Even early on, his erratic behavior resulted in lost opportunities (Charlie Parker supposedly told Miles Davis that he would not hire Powell because "he's even crazier than me!"), but Powell's playing during this period was often miraculous.
A breakdown in 1951 and hospitalization that resulted in electroshock treatments weakened him, but Powell was still capable of playing at his best now and then, most notably at the 1953 Massey Hall Concert. Generally in the 1950s his Blue Notes find him in excellent form, while he is much more erratic on his Verve recordings. His warm welcome and lengthy stay in Paris (1959-1964) extended his life a bit, but even here Powell spent part of 1962-1963 in the hospital. He returned to New York in 1964, disappeared after a few concerts, and did not live through 1966.
In later years, Bud Powell's recordings and performances could be so intense as to be scary, but other times he sounded quite sad. However, his influence on jazz (particularly up until the rise of McCoy Tyner and Bill Evans in the 1960s) was very strong and he remains one of the greatest jazz pianists of all time.
