About the Artist
Oscar Pettiford (30 September 1922, Okmulgee, Oklahoma, – 8 September 1960 , Copenhagen, Denmark) was an American jazz double bassist, cellist and composer known particularly for his pioneering work in bebop. Pettiford's mother was Choctaw and his father was half Cherokee and half African American. Like many people with African American and Native American ancestry, his Native heritage was not generally known except to a few close friends (which included David Amram). He grew up playing in the family band in which he sang and danced before switching to piano at the age of 12 then to double bass when he was 14. He is quoted as say he did not like the way people were playing the bass so he developed his own way of doing it. Despite being admired by the likes of Milt Hinton at the age of 14 he gave up in 1941 as he did not believe he could make a living. He met Milt again after 5 months and he talked him back into music. Blues in the Closet is a studio album by jazz pianist Bud Powell, released in 1958 by Verve,[1] featuring a session that Powell recorded at Fine Sound Studios in September 1956. The album was released as a CD replica by Verve.
