Bud Powell: Eternity
"I Hear Music" and "Shaw 'Nuff" swing with the driving bebop spirit that we recall from Powell's earlier collaborations. "Joshua's Blues," "Mary's Improvisation" and "Blues for Bouffémont," on the other hand, reveal a different side of the artist: his loving affection. Deep passion drove him on these introspective adventures. Similarly, slow and meaningful interpretations of "But Beautiful," "Someone to Watch Over Me" and "'Round Midnight" offer proof of the pianist's deep love for his music.
Powell's voice can be heard clearly as he announces several songs and sings along in his unique manner. He enjoyed the creative spirit that drove him. The apex of his influence on aspiring bebop pianists was his blazing fast speed. With Eternity, we get to enjoy both his virtuosic displays and his compassionate musings—up close and personal.
