Bud Powell

Bud POWELL (1924-1996). The Amazing Bud Powell, Volume 1 and Volume 2. Blue Note Records, 1956.



Two albums signed by Bud Powell, Volume 1 signed in black ink on the rear slick ‘Bud Powell’, and Volume 2 signed and inscribed in black ink on the front of the sleeve ‘To Steve from Bud Powell’.



Powell's short and troubled life was marred with mental and physical illness, and the impact of the death of his pianist brother in a car accident, which also claimed the life of brilliant young trumpeter Clifford Brown. Although his considerable musical gifts were progressively diminished by the effects of schizophrenia and tuberculosis, he is celebrated as one of the great jazz pianists. 'Powell influenced virtually every pianist who followed him...'', states Garry Giddins. 'No other pianist, and precious few musicians in any age, speak to us with such electrifying urgency... he was our Schubert and Liszt rolled into one.' Powell died in New York at the age of 41 in 1966. Giddins, 234.
