Pianist Bud Powell was a leading light of the 1940s bebop generation, often touted as the man who first applied bop's revolutionary approach to the keyboard. As he rose in the New York City jazz world, Powell spent several long stretches of his prime in institutions and hospitals, suffering primitive and sometimes-abusive psychiatric treatment. After 1953 his creative star would burn unevenly for the remaining 13 years of his life, but he had already established a legacy on records and in live performances as well that would make him one of the most significant pianists in jazz history.
