{"product_id":"the-amazing-bud-powell-vol-1","title":"The Amazing Bud Powell - Vol. 1.","description":"Amazon.com\n\nAlong with Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell was one of bebop's two great pianists. Unlike Monk, whose brilliant primitivism transcended bebop and transformed jazz composition, Powell took the lessons of his jazz piano forebears--most notably Art Tatum--and applied them to the emerging small group style. Powell's own resulting style combined a rapid and fluid right hand with a moody, almost dissonant approach to chord work, and the combination proved thoroughly modern.\nThe first of two similarly-titled albums, The Amazing Bud Powell is culled from a quintet and two trio dates recorded in 1949 and '51. Volume 1 is anchored by three versions of Powell's \"Un Poco Loco,\" featuring bassist Curly Russell and drummer Max Roach, that demonstrate the composition's evolution. Among the album's other outstanding tracks are quintet versions of \"Wail\" and \"Bouncing with Bud\" featuring tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins and the great but rarely recorded trumpeter Fats Navarro. A whimsical trio version of Powell's \"Parisian Thoroughfare\"--best known as a vehicle for the Max Roach-Clifford Brown quintet--rounds out this superb collection. --Fred Goodman\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B000005HBN\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B000005HBN.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Powell, Bud\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Audio cd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Individually inspected: Guaranteed to play perfectly or your money back.
