About this album
The Amazing Bud Powell (Volume 1) is a landmark bop album that captures Bud Powell at the heart of modern jazz piano. Issued in 1955, it finds him translating the fire and speed of Charlie Parker’s language into a uniquely pianistic voice: clipped, fluid lines, sharply etched harmonies and relentless forward motion. Sessions built around standards and originals such as “Un Poco Loco” and “Dance Of The Infidels” helped define the post-war bop vocabulary and confirmed Powell as one of the music’s most influential innovators. Widely admired by critics and musicians alike, the record remains a touchstone for jazz piano style.
