Bud Powell
Earl Rudolph "Bud" Powell (September 27, 1924 – July 31, 1966) was an American jazz pianist and composer. A pioneer in the development of bebop and its associated contributions to jazz theory,Grove Powell's application of complex phrasing to the piano influenced both his contemporaries and later pianists including Walter Davis Jr., Toshiko Akiyoshi, and Barry Harris. Born in the midst of the Harlem Renaissance to a musical family, Powell, during the 1930s, developed an attacking, right-handed approach to the piano, which marked a break from the left-handed approach of stride and ragtime that had been prevalent. Upon joining trumpeter Cootie Williams's band in 1943, he received attention from the broader musical community for his fluency and advanced technique. In 1945, he suffered a severe beating by police, followed by several years of intermittent institutionalizations. However, his recordings and live performances with Charlie Parker, Sonny Stitt, and Max Roach during ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

''Jazz Original'', also known as ''Bud Powell '57'', is a studio album by jazz pianist Bud Powell, released in 1955 by Norgran, featuring sessions that Powell recorded at Fine Sound Studios in New York in 1954 and 1955. The album was re-issued by Norgran as ''Bud Powell '57'' in 1957, re-issued again on LP by Verve and released on CD, also as ''Bud Powell '57'', by Verve in 2005 with the same track listing as the original LP.

"How High the Moon" is the sole track from the January 12, 1955 session. Three other tracks from the session appear on '' Bud Powell' ...

Duke Ellington
Edward Kennedy "Duke" Ellington (April 29, 1899 – May 24, 1974) was an American Jazz piano, jazz pianist, composer, and leader of his eponymous Big band, jazz orchestra from 1924 through the rest of his life. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Ellington was based in New York City from the mid-1920s and gained a national profile through his orchestra's appearances at the Cotton Club in Harlem. A master at writing miniatures for the three-minute 78 rpm recording format, Ellington wrote or collaborated on more than one thousand compositions; his extensive body of work is the largest recorded personal jazz legacy, and many of his pieces have become Standard (music), standards. He also recorded songs written by his bandsmen, such as Juan Tizol's "Caravan (1937 song), Caravan", which brought a Spanish tinge to big band jazz. At the end of the 1930s, Ellington began a nearly thirty five-year collaboration with composer-arranger-pianist Billy Strayhorn, whom he called his writ ...

Bouncing With Bud (album)
''Bouncing with Bud'', also known as ''In Copenhagen'' in later releases, is a 1962 album by jazz pianist Bud Powell, recorded in Copenhagen for Sonet Records, Delmark, and Storyville with Niels-Henning Ørsted Pedersen on bass and William Schiopffe on drums. It was re-released by Mobile Fidelity with improved audio quality on CD. History Ørsted Pedersen was only 16 years old at the time of the recording session. The album is unusual for its preference for up-tempo tunes, as Powell did not want to play a slow blues on the session as was typical on his later albums. Reception In a review for AllMusic, Scott Yanow called the album "an excellent set," with eight tracks that "showcase Bud Powell during his European renaissance period, giving pianists a definitive lesson in playing bop." Author Len Lyons wrote: "Bud's improvisations... are singable, nearly begging for lyrics. Bud's technique may have been blunted but not his imagination." Pianist and composer Ethan Iverson des ...
