Bud Powell

Earl Rudolph ‘Bud’ Powell (New York, September 27, 1924 – New York, July 31, 1966), known as Bud Powell, was an American jazz pianist and composer, and one of the fundamental figures of bebop. Along with Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk and Mary Lou Williams, he was one of the most important figures of modern jazz. He was also a creative and influential composer.

A pioneer in the progress of bebop and his associated contributions to jazz theory, Powell’s application of complex phrasing to the piano influenced both his contemporaries and later pianists such as Walter Davis Jr, Toshiko Akiyoshi and Barry Harris.1

Born in the height of the Harlem Renaissance into a family of musicians, Powell developed an aggressive, right-handed approach to the piano in the 1930s, which marked a break with the left-handed approach to stride and ragtime that had existed. predominated until then.
