Wayne's "Bouncing With Bud" solo is amazing! I had not heard it before, so thanks for posting it.

I certainly learned a lot and am inspired now to listen to more of the music from Bud and Wayne — thanks very much for writing it and sharing the history and extremely interesting stories!

I did notice 2 apparent typos in same paragraph: “ genius of bepop piano” & “helpmeet of Francis”

Just wow and thanks for this bit of history. I’ve always loved Bud Powell’s music, but never had a clue about who he was. This post brings life to “behind the scenes” creating such an amazing collaboration of musical minds.
