A revolutionary of modern jazz, the ultimate technique of bebop piano
This work by Bud Powell, one of the founders of bebop piano, is a historic masterpiece that encapsulates his overwhelming playing technique and the intelligent improvisation of modern jazz.
His piano playing, with its astonishing speed and precision, symbolizes the bebop style that established the format of modern jazz. The complex melody lines in his right hand and the firm backing in his left hand give the music a powerful momentum and tension. This is a monumental record in jazz history, featuring his tight interplay with Max Roach and Ray Brown. This timeless masterpiece marked the evolution of modern jazz piano.
