Bud Powell
Piano Solo on
A Night In Tunisia

About

Bud Powell's piano solo is the 2nd of 3 on this recording, following Dexter Gordon's tenor sax and followed by Kenny Clarke on drums. Spanning two choruses of the 32-bar AABA form at a medium-up 186 BPM with a swing feel in D, the solo runs approximately 1:27. "A Night in Tunisia" from Dexter Gordon's 1963 Our Man in Paris album brings together the tenor saxophonist and pianist Bud Powell on Dizzy Gillespie's iconic bebop anthem, creating a historic encounter between three pillars of the music's development. Bud Powell was 38 to 39 years old at the time of this 1963 recording.
