On September 26-28, 2011, the Bar on Fifth at the Setai Hotel will host the Second Annual “Remembering Bud" Festival, presented by Earl John Powell to honor the musical legacy of his father, Bud Powell. This year, featured performers include Rick Germanson, Alex Hoffman, and Luke Celenza.

“This year's lineup promises to be a fitting tribute to my father's musical legacy," notes Mr. Powell, the festival's artistic director. “Bud was one of the architects of the bebop idiom, a style that continues to exert its influence and guide today's new musical frontiers."

All performances begin at 8:00 p.m., and are free to the public. For a full listing of events, please see below.
