Inner Fires is a live album by jazz pianist Bud Powell recorded at Club Kavakos in 1953. Also appearing on the record were bassist Charles Mingus and drummer Roy Haynes. Some releases of the album include recordings of interviews with Powell from 1963, during his stay at the Bouffémount Sanatorium in France.
Jazz critic Scott Yanow praised the album, noting Powell's "consistently exciting form" and the "inspired and creative" musicianship throughout the album. [1] John Swenson of The Rolling Stone Jazz Record Guide gave it five stars, describing the music as "tumultuous". [2]
The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the album as "compelling" and noted that Powell "plays out of his skin for most of the hour." [3]
