The Definitive Bud Powell
(2002)
more music like this
by
Bud Powell
Bud Powell changed the way that the piano is played in jazz, virtually inventing bebop-style piano. This sampler draws its music from his Blue Note sessions of 1947-1953, some of his finest recordings. Actually, with the exception of 1947's "Bud's Bubble" and "Glass Enclosure" from 1953, the music is all from 1949 or 1951. Three selections ...

Keith Jarrett/Gary Peacock/Jack DeJohnette
For Keith Jarrett, this extremely satisfying concert with the Standards Trio on two CDs is a personal landmark, the first for-the-record sign that he had recovered from the chronic fatigue syndrome that laid him low for three years in the late 1990s. Indeed, by the time this Paris gig took place, he had come all the way back -- his technical ...

by
Eddie Daniels & Larry Combs
Jazz-classical fusion is almost always a bad idea. Or, more precisely, it's almost always a good idea that almost never gets executed well (apologies to Gunther Schuller). The problem is that so many wind players are adept at both styles that they almost invariably decide to mix them up at some point in their careers, and the results are usually ...

T.K. Blue
For some reason, Talib Kibwe -- the alto saxophonist and flutist well known in the jazz community for his efforts as a sideman with Randy Weston, Abdullah Ibrahim and others -- chose the moniker T.K. Blue for this album. Thankfully, it isn't a phony affectation disguising some overbearing smooth jazz or funk project. Kibwe presents a program of ...

Ted Rosenthal
In his first solo piano excursion, Ted Rosenthal reveals himself as an intellectual bop and classical devotee, mostly indebted to Bud Powell, Lennie Tristano and J.S. Bach in no particular order. His technique is immaculate and contrapuntal-minded, the selection of material offbeat, but we don't feel as if we are in the presence of a strong ...

One of jazz's most influential pianists, Bud Powell helped free the left hand from the stranglehold of stride during the bop era, and his recordings show a remarkable consistency, particularly given his often erratic behavior -- Powell was beaten by police in the mid-'40s and exhibited mental instability afterwards, a condition probably not helped ...
