AfricaBrass Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 That IS Bud's son! Thanks Lon. I've been curious about that. I guess that photo just makes BP seem more human to me. I've always read about his troubles, it's nice to see that picture. Quote

I've always read about his troubles, it's nice to see that picture. The little boy on that Francis Wolff photo is Johnny. He is the son of Alvetia 'Buttercup' Edwards, Bud's companion. Bud Powell was not Johnny's father even if Buttercup introduced him as her and Bud's son. Francis Paudras - who was no friend of Buttercup - relates in his book 'Dance of the Infidels' that Bud Powell told him he was not the child's father Quote
