Remarkably uplifting album of mid-50s takes by BeBop legend (and apparent Monk protege, something I just learned). Cover artist David Stone Martin seemed to portray' Powell's known mental challenges in fairly heavy drawings. Found this minty 1981 Japanese reissue at the flea market for a fiver. I'd like to find a pre-Verve label Norgran Records original (same art, in yellow).
