| | Mel Powell, The Best Things In Life |
 | | The music on this album is best described as "swing" music of the type played by the popular dance bands of the day. | | | From 1953 to 1958, Hammond produced some 40 albums for Vanguard, and from three albums he recorded with Mel Powell comes this 17 track compilation of the best of pianist Powell. | | | However, the best songs on the recording are written by Powell -- "Thigamagig," "Ezz-May" and "Bouquet." They best showcase his style which is spare yet at the same time rich. |

| | Fifty years' worth of history since that time records Powell's defection to the classical side; the onset of muscular dystrophy made touring with a band unthinkable. | | | A smattering of Mel's chamber music - tight little flickering pieces like intricately carved, iridescent stones - is available, but not, alas, his vocal works, the Haiku Settings and the Little Companion Pieces. | | | Several of the early Benny Goodman Band reissues have him on piano; he first played with Goodman in 1937, at 14 (as Melvin Epstein). |

| | Not surprisingly, many of the songs are associated with Powell's one-time employer Benny Goodman, including "Stompin' at the Savoy," "Avalon," and "If Dreams Come True." After his Vanguard sessions, Powell didn't record another jazz album as a leader until 1987's The Return of Mel Powell on Chiaroscuro. | | | One of the CDs that illustrates the excellence of Powell's Vanguard output is It's Been So Long, which spans 1953-56 and contains selections from four of his classic John Hammond-produced LPs (including Borderline and Out on a Limb). | | | Mel Powell MP3 Downloads - Mel Powell Music Downloads - Mel Powell Music Videos |

| | Powell did record some superior jazz dates for Vanguard during 1953-1955 and sat in with Bobby Hackett in the mid-'60s, but was otherwise occupied completely outside of jazz. | | | He had previously played with Bobby Hackett, George Brunis, and Zutty Singleton (1939), was the intermission pianist at Nick's, and worked in the short-lived Muggsy Spanier big band. | | | Powell, whose style was reminiscent of Teddy Wilson's, recorded with Goodman during 1945-1947, led a few record dates (his first one was in 1942), and worked in the studios. |

| | Mel Powell: 1923-1998 |
| | His best known piece from this period was his own composition The Earl, dedicated to Hines and recorded without a drummer in 1941. | | | He showed an equally strong interest in music, however, and a precocious talent for the piano. | | | Mel Powell made his initial reputation as a jazz pianist and arranger, notably with the Benny Goodman band, but spent much of his life teaching classical composition and composing his own work in serial forms. |

| | Remembering Mel Powell |
| | Mel was an inspiring teacher up until the end, sharing generously of his vast musical knowledge and helping innumerable young composers to find their voices. | | | "With Mel's death, we have lost the wit, warmth, and wisdom of a singular musician whose creative achievements extend from the biggest of the big bands to the smallest of that small band of distinguished contemporary composers." | | | Powell was a large man, physically; though for years confined to a wheelchair, he never made it the centerpiece of his life. |

| | Mel Powell b |
| | Powell had turned to classical music, playing largely for his own pleasure, teaching and composing classical music. | | | After the war Powell made a few jazz records in Los Angeles, then in the early '50s recorded again with Ruby Braff and Paul Quinichette; he also appeared with Goodman around this same time, but that was the last the jazz world heard of him until the mid-80s. | | | However, his playing ability was unimpaired and his return to the jazz scene, with appearances on the Caribbean jazz cruise ship, the SS NORWAY, and new recordings showed that he had lost none of his capacity for performing inventive, dexterous solos. |

And you do something really sneaky behind the scenes. |
