Bud Powell - The Chronological Classics: Bud Powell 1945-1947 (1947)

"Indiana" by The Bud Powell Trio


Bud Powell was the pianist with The Quintet.  His earliest recordings of note are collected in The Chronological Classics: Bud Powell 1945-1947.  Max Roach (also of The Quintet) can be heard playing drums as a member of The Bud Powell Trio, Bud's first stint as a recorded band leader.  (Note: As usual for older jazz musicians, I go to the Chronological Classics well for a pretty thorough summation of their recorded body of work).

Here is the discography surrounding Bud Powell's debut recordings:

I'll Remember April (1949 single)
