Bouncin’ with Bud: Tardo Hammer plays Bud Powell

Bouncin’ with Bud: Tardo Hammer plays Bud Powell
For more than three decades, jazz pianist Tardo Hammer has been a major figure in New York’s bebop scene, having played with Johnny Griffin, Art Farmer, Junior Cook and Lionel Hampton, among many others. In this special lunchtime concert, Hammer will showcase the compositions of Bud Powell, the great bebop pianist, who along with his colleague Thelonious Monk, took Charlie Parker’s musical language and adapted it to the piano. In an interview with JazzTimes, Hammer remarked: “Bud Powell has so much to say… His music, it just has everything—he can play a ballad and make you cry, romp an uptempo and swing his ass off, and play the blues.”
