Mel Powell

Mel Powell (born Melvin Epstein) (February 12, 1923 – April 24, 1998) was an American jazz pianist, composer of classical music, and music educator. He won the Pulitzer Prize for Music in 1990. Powell was the founding dean of the music department at the California Institute of the Arts.
==Early life==
Mel Powell was born Melvin D. Epstein on February 12, 1923, in The Bronx, New York City to Russian Jewish parents, Milton Epstein and Mildred Mark Epstein.〔Balliett, Whitney (2005). ''American Musicians II: Seventy-One Portraits in Jazz'', pp. 174-82. University Press of Mississippi.〕 He began playing piano at age four, taking lessons from, among others, Nadia Reisenberg.〔 A passionate baseball fan, his home was within sight of Yankee Stadium. A hand injury while playing baseball as a boy, however, convinced him to choose music as a career path instead of sports. Powell dreamed of life as a concert pianist until one night his older brother took him to see jazz pianist Teddy Wilson play,〔 and later to a concert featuring Benny Goodman. In a 1987 interview with ''The New Yorker'' magazine Powell said "I had never heard anything as ecstatic as this music", prompting a shift from classical to jazz piano.〔 By the age of 14 Powell was performing jazz professionally around New York City.〔 As early as 1939, he was working with Bobby Hackett, George Brunies, and Zutty Singleton, as well as writing arrangements for Earl Hines.〔 He changed his last name from Epstein to Powell in 1941 shortly before joining Benny Goodman's band.〔Yanow, Scott (2000). ''Swing'', p. 211. San Francisco: Miller Freeman Books.〕
