Bud Powell Trio, Volume 2

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Showcasing the troubled but profoundly brilliant pianist, this Roost 10-inch release documents his unparalleled command of the modern trio format. Bud Powell executes rapid, horn-like right-hand runs while pushing highly advanced, dissonant chord voicings against the rhythm section. These recordings are foundational pillars for the entire trajectory of mid-century bebop piano architecture.
