An extremely busy musician, composer and arranger Powell was a mere sixteen years old when he replaced Teddy Wilson in the Benny Goodman Band during the early forties. For two years his piano playing and arranging dominated the Goodman band until he was drafted in 1943 and became a member of the Glenn Miller Air Force Band. After Millers death in 1945 Powell became the band leader and chief arranger. He then went on to study composition at Yale University removing himself almost entirely from the jazz scene (with the occasional exception of the odd gig with Goodman). But now he’s back! What unites all our featured albums (recorded between 1953- 1955)…………”is the devotion to jazz at its most inventive and exciting”. Our selections include such fine musicians as Ruby Braff, Bobby Donaldson, Mundell Lowe, Chuck Russo, Buck Clayton, Paul Quinichette, Oscar Pettiford and Michael “Peanuts” Hucko. As the liner notes from “Bandstand” testify “Powells extraordinary talents remain as undimmed as ever”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll four albums plus have been digitally re-mastered for probably the finest ever sound quality!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/official_TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_0dc0c6c8-3485-4867-8aa8-a09c520223c1_480x480.png?v=1668436329\" alt=\"\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0067\/4660\/3571\/files\/official_TRACK_LISTING_WITH_WORLD_0dc0c6c8-3485-4867-8aa8-a09c520223c1_480x480.png?v=1668436329\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCD1\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1-7: ‘Borderline’\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e1.
