| Summary |
Bud Powell "endured a brutal beating on the head by the police as a youth; electroshock therapy in psychiatric institutions; physical and mental abuse from people who fed him dangerous drugs to control him; malnutrition and tuberculosis; and, perhaps most painful of all, the indifference of his contemporaries to his talent. ... Francis Paudras, a young jazz fan who met Powell in the late 1950s ... gave him a home and a new life, encouraged him to create some of his finest music, and cared for him as if he were his child rather than his idol."--Cover. |
