You know what's wrong with this country?  We don't spend enough time talking about pianist Bud Powell.  Well, this Monday from 6pm to 9pm on Deep Focus, Mitch Goldman and his guest, pianist David Virelles, are going to do something about that.  The WKCR archives delivered live recordings so rare that they are not found in any discography.  Bud's son John Powell even calls during the show saying even he had not heard them!

 

It's only on WKCR 89.9FM, WKCR HD-1 and wkcr.org.  Tuesday morning it goes up on the Deep Focus podcast on your favorite podcasting app or at https://mitchgoldman.podbean.com/
