Richie Powell

Richie Powell

Richie Powell (September 5, 1931June 26, 1956) was an American bebop jazz pianist.

Powell was born into a musical family in New York City, and was the younger brother of Bud Powell (also a pianist). Although sometimes considered less gifted than his bebop-icon brother, he was a respected musician and a member of the group co-led by Clifford Brown and Max Roach.

In 1956 Powell and Brown were being driven overnight by Powell's wife Nancy to an engagement in Chicago. Nancy lost control of the vehicle on the Pennsylvania Turnpike during a dark rainy night, and all three occupants were killed.
