AbstractThe audio is intermittent. The film begins with Bud Powell walking up a staircase. Then there is a copy of an early 1960s French television broadcast of Bud Powell performing at the Blue Note with various musicians such as Kenny Clarke (drums), and Jean-Marie Ingrand (bass). There are other brief clips of Lou Bennett (organ), Brew Moore (tenor saxophone), and Kenny Clarke (drums) at the Blue Note. At 6:46, there is a copy of a television broadcast of Powell (piano), William Schiopffe (drums), and Niels-Henning Orsted Pedersen (bass) performing Round Midnight at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen in the early 1960s. The clip of this performance ends abruptly. At 10:32, there is black-and-white footage of Bud Powell's funeral procession in New York in 1966, including clips of the Lee Morgan quintet playing on the Jazzmobile. There is also footage of Powell's casket in the hearse. Then there is a clip of Bud Powell walking outside. At 12:27 the performance at Jazzhus Montmartre in Copenhagen is repeated. That performance ends abruptly and then there are clips of Powell walking down the street and performing on stage.
