Description:
Victor Goines and Jarrard Harris, conductors
As one of the pioneers of the genre that became known as bebop, pianist-composer Earl Rudolph “Bud” Powell created a playing style that continues to influence jazz musicians today. His unprece-dented body of work is characterized by harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic originality that fascinates performers as well as listeners. For this concert, jazz students create new arrangements based on such Powell compositions as “Powell’s Prances,” “Bouncin’ with Bud,” and “Dance of the Infidels.”
