Selected Letters of Dawn Powell: 1913-1965 $3.98 "Selected Letters of Dawn Powell "traces a richly talented writer's fifty-two-year journey from her childhood in a small Ohio town to the glitter of Manhattan. Powell was a prolific letter writer, and her correspondence provides an intimate look at the woman about whom "The New York Times" recently said: " She] is wittier than Dorothy Parker, dissects the rich better than F. Scott Fitzgerald, is more plaintive than Willa Cather in her evocation of the heartland, and has more supple control of satirical voice than Evelyn Waugh." Living most of her life in Greenwich Village, Powell supported herself as a writer through the Great Depression and two world wars while nursing an autistic son, an alcoholic husband, and her own parade of illnesses. In her correspondence, including gossip-filled letters to such luminaries as Edmund Wilson, John Dos Passos, and the legendary editor Max Perkins, we find the record of a courageous and dramatic woman who produced fifteen novels, ten plays, and more than one hundred stories. |

The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 1 $22.39 The CD reissues of the two albums titled The Amazing Bud Powell put the important recordings in chronological order (which they weren't in the LP versions) and add some alternate takes; all of the music has also been included in a definitive four-CD box set. Although the latter is the best way to acquire the important performances, this CD gives one a strong sampling of pianist Bud Powell at his best. Powell is heard in a classic session with trumpeter Fats Navarro and tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins (which is highlighted by exciting versions of "Dance of the Infidels," "52nd Street Theme," and "Bouncing With Bud") and in a trio performing "Over the Rainbow" and three versions of his intense "Un Poco Loco." ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Art Taylor - Drums; Bud Powell - Piano; Curly Russell - Bass; Fats Navarro - Trumpet; George Duvivier - Bass; Max Roach - Drums; Roy Haynes - Drums; Sonny Rollins - Sax (Tenor); Tommy Potter - Bass |

The Amazing Bud Powell, Vol. 2 $35.99 These two CD volumes (all of the music has also been reissued on a definitive and "complete" Blue Note Bud Powell four-CD set) differ from the original two LPs in that, in addition to the inclusion of some alternate takes, they are programmed in strict chronological order. The influential bebop pioneer (who not only set the standard for bop pianists but largely invented the style) is heard on fine trio performances from 1951 (with bassist Curly Russell and drummer Max Roach) and 1953 (during which he is matched with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor). Highlights include "A Night in Tunisia," "Reets and I," "I Want to Be Happy" and "Glass Enclosure." ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi Performers: Art Taylor - Drums; Bud Powell - Piano; Curly Russell - Bass; George Duvivier - Bass; Max Roach - Drums; Roy Haynes - Drums; Tommy Potter - Bass |
