These next few posts will be "piano-related" as the piano is one of the coolest of instruments. Bud Powell is one of the greats in jazz piano. He is one of the fathers of Bebop, along with Thelonious Monk. His tickling right hand solos earned him the nickname of "the Charlie Parker of the piano." I particularly enjoy the raw sound he produces, along with background rhythmic moans that characterize the passion he puts into his work. Bud recorded many tunes, some of the greats in my opinion include:
'Round Midnight
There Will Never Be Another You
and
I Remember Clifford
Check him out!
