Bud Powell once performed an entire set using only his left hand, after being criticized for relying too much on his right. In tribute to Bud’s influence, Phineas Newborn performs “Blues For The Left Hand Only”.
“The New Blues” is a laid back blues number also featuring Newborn’s trio, with Al McKibbon on bass and Kenny Dennis playing drums. Both videos are from the 1962 Jazz Scene TV series, with Oscar Brown, Jr.
