Bud Powell (1924–1966), bebop’s defining pianist, translated Parker/Gillespie’s language to the keyboard—blazing right-hand lines, lean left-hand comping, hurtling swing. Essential recordings include Blue Note’s The Amazing Bud Powell Vols. 1–2, Bud Powell Trio, and Time Waits. Signature tunes: “Un Poco Loco,” “Tempus Fugit,” “Bouncing with Bud,” “Dance of the Infidels,” “Parisian Thoroughfare.”
