Glass Enclosure: The Life of Bud Powell (Bayou Jazz Lives)
"Groves's text, edited and supplemented with material by Shipton, traces the highs and lows of Powell's career in commendably full detail. . . . There are many reasons to welcome this volume. Powell deserves to be represented in any library of jazz greats, and his story makes salutary and sometimes shocking reading."—Brian Priestley, Jazz the Magazine"This fascinating (at times hideously so) biography is told with great sympathy but necessary toughness, and even when prompting disagreement it is stimulating and authoritative. Warmly recommended to readers of all tastes and interests."— Richard Palmer, Jazz Journal"A slim but informative volume on Powell's life and career."—Francis David, Atlantic Monthly
