Bud Powell was one of the creators of bebop and the era's greatest pianist. His highly complex recordings were rife with emotionally profound improvisations, and he was equally gifted as a composer--a number of his compositions from the 1940s and 1950s have become jazz standards. Unfortunately, the immensity of his gifts was matched by deeply troubling mental-health problems, which took a toll on his career as the years progressed.
