Bud Powell was an American jazz bop composer and pianist. Born on September 27, 1924 in Harlem, New York City, he became a prominent figure in the jazz scene. Sadly, he passed away at the age of 41 on July 31, 1966 due to pneumonia in New York City. Bud Powell was known for his exceptional talent on the piano and his contributions to the development of bebop music.

Throughout his career, Bud Powell collaborated with various artists who shared his passion for jazz. Some of these notable performers include Wynton Kelly, Kenny Dorham, Kenny Drew, Red Garland, and many more. His unique style and virtuosity influenced generations of musicians.

Bud Powell's legacy lives on through his timeless compositions and recordings. He continues to inspire aspiring musicians around the world with his innovative approach to jazz music.

Bud Powell ranks as one of the most influential pianists in jazz history, his style having provided the template for innumerable bebop pianists who followed in his wake. This newly compiled and mastered three-CD set captures Powell at his peak on his home turf at the famed Birdland club, recorded onsite (these are not "air checks" taped from radio), and mostly working with top-notch sidemen such as Charles Mingus, Oscar Pettiford, Roy Haynes, and Art Taylor, along with guest appearances by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Producer Michael D. Anderson fixed pitch problems and personnel listings that have plagued previous versions of some of this material from the collection of Boris Rose as issued on other labels.
