	Bud Powell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Powell's grandfather was a flamenco guitarist, and his father was a stride pianist, the family living in New York.
		Powell's first session as a leader was in a trio with Curly Russell and Max Roach, recorded in 1947 but not released until two years later, by Roost.
		Powell suffered from mental illness throughout his life, possibly triggered by a beating by the police in 1945 (although he had a reputation for strange behaviour prior to this beating, it certainly exacerbated his problems).

	Eternity : Bud Powell : CD Reviews : One Final Note
		It is as if Powell’s 1949 recording of “Cherokee”, with its intricate counterpoint and adventurous substitutions, had been shorn of its melody, slowed down, and expanded, each harmony being in need of arpeggiated reassertion, most assuredly a result of Powell’s association with one of Bebop’s elder statesmen.
		Powell’s prime is at least partially in evidence in several tracks on this collection.
		However, they are invaluable documents of this period of Powell’s slow decline; they should be heard in tandem with the emerging series on Fantasy, and all these recordings together must now be considered essential listening for anyone wishing to completely understand Bud Powell’s legacy.

	Bud Powell \| Eternity
		This is Powell essentially alone at the piano, in Francis Paudras' apartment in rue de Boursault, noodling away on an Erard baby grand, playing for his own amusement and presumably never dreaming that his cursory exercises, taped on what is said to be an English Ferrograph recorder, might one day reach a wider audience.
		Powell still knew where to place his fingers, which is more than I know, but the once-brilliant technique and unflagging imagination are rarely in evidence, which is especially apparent on the faster tunes (”Shaw 'Nuff,” “I Hear Music,” “Idaho”).
		The recording quality, of course, is quite variable, and one must occasionally endure Powell's rasping grunts and groans, most troubling on “Deep Night,” wherein he sounds as though he were in the throes of some sort of seizure.

		When he recorded this session in 1957, at age 33, his most incandescent inventions were already behind him, but what remained was a pianist of extraordinary depth, capable of the deepest blues and a rhythmic incisiveness like Thelonious Monk's.
		All in all a very enjoyable disc, though not one of the truly epic ones for which the Legend of Bud Powell was formed.
		While Bud Powell's best recordings for Blue Note are from the late 40s and early 50s, captured on the two volumes of "The Amazing Bud Powell," this is one of three sessions he made for the label in 1957-58.
