NYC: BOUNCIN' WITH BUD: MUSIC OF BUD POWELL
Bouncin' with Bud: Music of Bud Powell featuring Tim Hagans (trumpet), Greg Osby (alto sax), Matt Wilson (drums), Dan Tepfer (piano) and Lonnie Plaxico (bass) will be presented at BIRDLAND(315 West 44th Street, NYC - 212-581-3080) Tuesday through Saturday, September 25th through 29th with shows at 8:30 & 11:00 pm. Along Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Earl Rudolph "Bud" Powell (September 27, 1924 - July 31, 1966) is considered to be one of the creators of the style of modern jazz known as bebop. Despite his tragically short life, including bouts of mental illness, alcoholism and a self-imposed period of exile in Paris, Powell helped to define modern jazz piano technique while his brutal life story went on to inspire the Oscar winning film "'Round Midnight." This all-star birthday tribute will feature influential bebop compositions that Powell left behind including "Bouncin' with Bud," "Dance of the Infidels," "Budo," "Tempus Fugit," and "Un Poco Loco." There is a $30-40 cover plus a $10 food/drink minimum.
