Bud Powell
New York 1924 /1966

Piano; Composer

Bud Powell knew how to mix the typical force of the bopers, with the romanticism that existed in his difficult and tormented personality. His more than 10 years of internment in psychiatric centres, greatly influenced his unstable career. Powell is a necessary point of reference for modern jazz pianists. BUY
