Bud Powell • The Best Of Bud Powell

Bud Powell is generally considered to be the most important pianist in the history of jazz. Noted jazz writer and critic Gary Giddins, in Visions of Jazz, goes even further, saying that “Powell will be recognized as one of the most formidable creators of piano music in any time or idiom.”

His first recordings were made in 1944, when he was a 20 year old pianist in the Cootie Williams Band, and his last recordings were made in 1964 when he returned from several years in Europe to play at Birdland.

Between those dates Bud Powell played with the greatest jazz musicians of his generation including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Charlie Mingus and Max Roach. The recordings he made for the forerunners of the Verve label and for Blue Note, as well as many lesser known labels, are among the greatest jazz recordings of all time.

Not as much of a showman as musicians like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell has not received as much public recognition as some of his contemporaries. Nevertheless his fellow musicians were in awe of his creativity and skill, which in his prime were considered almost superhuman.

Bud Powell es considerado generalmente como el pianista más importante en la historia del jazz. El conocido escritor y crítico de jazz Gary Giddins, en Visions of Jazz, va más allá, diciendo que "Powell será reconocido como uno de los más formidables creadores de la música de piano en cualquier época o idioma".

Sus primeras grabaciones se hicieron en 1944, cuando era un pianista de 20 años en la Cootie Williams Band, y sus últimas grabaciones se hicieron en 1964 cuando regresó de varios años en Europa para tocar en Birdland.

Entre esas fechas Bud Powell tocó con los más grandes músicos de jazz de su generación, incluyendo a Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Dexter Gordon, Charlie Mingus y Max Roach. Las grabaciones que hizo para los precursores del sello Verve y para Blue Note, así como para muchos otros sellos menos conocidos, están entre las mejores grabaciones de jazz de todos los tiempos.

No tan showman como músicos como Charlie Parker y Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell no ha recibido tanto reconocimiento público como algunos de sus contemporáneos. Sin embargo, sus colegas músicos se asombraron de su creatividad y su habilidad, que en su mejor momento se consideraron casi sobrehumanas.
