Earl Rudolph "Bud" Powell (September 27, 1924 – July 31, 1966) was an American jazz pianist.
Though Thelonious Monk was a close friend and influence, his greatest piano influence was Art Tatum.Along with Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, and Dizzy Gillespie, Powell was a leading figure in the development of modern jazz, or bebop.
His virtuosity led many to call him the Charlie Parker of the piano.
Powell was also a composer, and many jazz critics credit his works and his playing as having "greatly extended the range of jazz harmony."
