BUD POWELL (Bouncing with...) Jazz History #50

Bill Evans said: “If I had to choose one single musician for his artistic integrity and the grandeur of his work, it would be Bud Powell.” Herbie Hancock said: “Bud was the foundation of modern jazz piano. Every jazz pianist either came through him or is deliberately attempting to get away from playing like him.” Need anyone say any more?

Heard him in the Blue Note in summer 1961. An amazing evening - a blast to my 18-year-old ears.

[@chasesanborn]

A memory for a lifetime.

バド・パウエルの経歴紹介ですが、貴重な写真が多数使用されていて大変に素晴らしいです。アップ有難うございます。

[@mgconlan]

In the late 1920's Earl Hines had been called the "trumpet style piano" player because he owed so much to Louis Armstrong. Likewise Bud Powell's playing could have been called "saxophone style piano" because he owed so much to Charlie Parker - and Jimi Hendrix's playing owed so much to John Coltrane's it could have been called "saxophone style guitar."

[@chasesanborn]

Might be debatable whether the connection is a debt owed from one to another or the co-existence of like minds. The pairing of Trane and Hendrix is not one I've considered.

And despite it all, the master is buried in an unmarked grave.

Justice is elusive, particularly when it comes to art.

Monk & Richie, his brother over Bud, any day of the week !!!

[@chasesanborn]

Fortunately, one doesn't have to choose!

You get the criticism about not using the left hand-those are definitely horn lines. Would have to be a sax player! Couldn’t play those lines on a brass instrument. I actually don’t hear a lot of Bird in this-he always he had the blues in his sound. (Referring to first clip). I’m glad we’ve moved on from the era where so many jazz guys lived tragic lives-unfortunately glamorized in Steely Dan’s Deacon Blues.

[@chasesanborn]

As a trumpet player, I agree about not wanting to attempt to play Bud's lines. On the whole, jazz musicians are healthier these days, but it's still a tough way to make a living!

[@giselagueiros]

Really cool! Always learning with you

[@chasesanborn]

I'm glad to have you aboard. You are watching a lot of them!

EARL RUDOLPH "Bud" POWELL (September 27th, 1924 - July 31st, 1966). He was Yard of the piano.

[@chasesanborn]

As in Yardbird, I assume.
