Powell experienced serious health problems throughout his life. He was commited to a mental hospital from late 1951 to early 1953, and would be released into the guardianship of Oscar Goodstein, the owner of the Birdland nightclub. Following his release from the hospital, Powell’s playing began to be seriously affected by Largactil, a drug prescribed for the treatment of schizophrenia, and by the late Fifties his talent was clearly in eclipse.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThese sessions, however, still find him in good shape (his playing, besides some technical trouble, never ceased to produce interesting music). According to All About Jazz reviewer Patrick Burnette, “Powell deconstructs Monk’s ‘Epistrophy’ and garbles ‘Sweet Georgia Brown,’ but the most striking cut is ‘Mediocre,’ on which Powell plays a repetitive melody over a descending series of chords for about three minutes, making increasingly outre variations on the melody rather than soloing over the chords.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePERSONNEL:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBUD POWELL, piano on all tracks, plus:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA1-A5 \u0026amp; B7:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGEORGE DUVIVIER, bass\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eART TAYLOR, drums\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFine Sound Studio, New York, April 25 (A4-A5 \u0026amp; B7) and April 27 (A1-A3), 1955.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eB1-B6:\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePERCY HEATH, bass\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKENNY CLARKE, drums\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFine Sound Studio, New York, January 13, 1955.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSIDE A:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 CONFIRMATION\u003cbr\u003e2 STAR EYES\u003cbr\u003e3 LULLABY IN RHYTHM\u003cbr\u003e4 WILLOW WEEP FOR ME\u003cbr\u003e5 HEART AND SOUL (*)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSIDE B:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 MEDIOCRE\u003cbr\u003e2 ALL THE THINGS YOU ARE\u003cbr\u003e3 EPISTROPHY\u003cbr\u003e4 DANCE OF THE INFIDELS\u003cbr\u003e5 SALT PEANUTS\u003cbr\u003e6 HEY GEORGE [SWEET GEORGIA BROWN]\u003cbr\u003e7 CRAZY RHYTHM (*)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e(*) Bonus tracks: From the same sessions, but not included on the original LP.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bud Powell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51457619034281,"sku":"tlm1793030983905","price":15.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/3171\/0889\/files\/the-lonely-one_1.jpg?v=1793030988","url":"https:\/\/fairtradewearstore.shop\/products\/the-lonely-one","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
