Bud Powell was not only one of the greatest bebop pianists of all
time, he stands as one of the twentieth century's most dynamic and
fiercely adventurous musical minds. His expansive musicianship,
riveting performances, and inventive compositions expanded the
bebop idiom and pushed jazz musicians of all stripes to higher
standards of performance. Yet Powell remains one of American
music's most misunderstood figures, and the story of his
exceptional talent is often overshadowed by his history of alcohol
abuse, mental instability, and brutalization at the hands of white
authorities. In this first extended study of the social
significance of Powell's place in the American musical landscape,
Guthrie P. Ramsey, Jr. shows how the pianist expanded his own
artistic horizons and moved his chosen idiom into new realms.
Illuminating and multi-layered, "The Amazing Bud Powell"
centralizes Powell's contributions as it details the collision of
two vibrant political economies: the discourses of art and the
practice of blackness.
