The Essen Jazz Festival Concert is a live album by jazz pianist Bud Powell and saxophone player Coleman Hawkins compiled from a live concert by the two artists, joined by Oscar Pettiford on bass and Kenny Clarke on drums.[1]
The album was well received by critics, with Joseph Neff writing, "a safe bet that modern jazz fans will welcome this addition to their shelves" and giving the album an A-.[2] Jazz critic Scott Yanow described Powell's performance as "top form" and described his trio as "all-star."[1]
