Lullaby of Birdland, that's what I
Always hear when you sigh
Never in my wordland
Could there be ways to reveal
In a phrase how I feel
Have you ever heard two turtle doves
Bill and coo when they love?
That's the kind of magic
Music we make with our lips when we kiss
And there's a weepy old willow
He really knows how to cry
That's how I'd cry in my pillow
If you should tell me farewell and goodbye
Lullaby of Birdland whisper low
Kiss me sweet and we'll go
Flyin' high in Birdland
High in the sky up above
All because we're in love
Earl Rudolph Powell, noto come Bud Powell, è stato un pianista e compositore jazz statunitense considerato uno dei più influenti musicisti del bebop. Nato a New York nel 1924, Powell iniziò a suonare il pianoforte all'età di sette anni. Influenzato da artisti come Art Tatum e Teddy Wilson, sviluppò un stile caratterizzato da virtuosismo tecnico, improvvisazione brillante e melodie memorabili. Nel corso degli anni '40, Powell divenne una figura centrale del bebop, collaborando con musicisti leggendari come Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie e Max Roach. Il suo talento fu riconosciuto anche in Europa, dove si esibì con successo negli anni '50. Malgrado la sua breve carriera (morì nel 1966 all'età di 42 anni), Powell lasciò un'eredità duratura nel jazz, influenzando generazioni di pianisti e contribuendo a definire l'evoluzione del genere. Tra i suoi brani più rappresentativi ricordiamo 'Tempus Fugit', 'Wail', 'Un Poco Loco' e 'Dance of the Infidel'.
