Acknowledgments

 

What follows is a complete list of people who contributed in one way or the other to my research and thinking about Bud Powell and his times. For an explanation of the primary roles that Maxwell Tillman Cohen and Francis Paudras played in my effort, see the endnotes.

One valiant if mostly fruitless effort, to trace Powell's patrilineal heritage, demands special thanks: Brigitte Burkett's dogged examinations of all pertinent Virginia records, in the search for a trace of Bud Powell's paternal grandfather. None emerged, though her rigorous poring over census and other records showed me how much work must be undertaken just to yield educated hunches. When and where Richard Powell lived, and if he went to Cuba (as is tantalizingly mentioned in various books) may never be known.

A few other (re-)sources were so essential that they also deserve special mention:

Jazz Oral History Project (JOHP), which is sometimes known as Smithsonian Oral History Project;
George Hoefer, who wrote a column, "Hot Box", for Metronome, but whose notes, which offer information on personnel and live engagements that he didn't fit in his columns;
WKCR, the closest there is to a jazz-radio station of record—and its irrepressibly informative (also infuriating), longest-serving (and -winded) deejay, Phil Schaap;
Claude Schlouch, who has compiled a Bud Powell discography, to which I have made corrections and annotations;
Brian Priestley, a constant if long-distance, erudite and patient mentor and colleague;
and, most of all,
Institute of Jazz Studies (IJS)—not just its vast recorded archive, periodical holdings, and underused book holdings but its clips files, with their myriad sources of information on even the most obscure musicians . . . and Dan Morgenstern, jazz's greatest authority and gentleman
