Discover a rare live performance from the legendary bebop pianist, Bud Powell. 'The Essen Jazz Festival Concert' showcases Powell alongside bassist Oscar Pettiford and drummer Kenny 'Klook' Clarke. Tenor sax great Coleman Hawkins joins them for much of the recording. Often, Powell's late - career live shows are criticized, but this April 2, 1960 performance is impressively consistent. Powell sounds right at home as he plays through classic standards, offering a mix of bebop and bluesy moments. With nine tracks in total, it's a must - have for jazz lovers. Released by ORG Music in 2018 on indie exclusive white and green swirl colored vinyl, it comes in a full - color sleeve with a printed inner sleeve.
To enjoy this vinyl LP, first, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently remove the vinyl from the sleeve by holding it at the edges to avoid fingerprints. Place it on the turntable, set the tonearm carefully on the record, and start the playback. After each use, return the vinyl to its sleeve to protect it from dust and scratches. Store the LP upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. This will help maintain the quality of the music and the appearance of the vinyl over time.
