Raphael Homer "Ray" Bryant (December 24, 1931 – June 2, 2011)[1] was an American jazz pianist and composer.
Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Ray Bryant began playing the piano at the age of six, also performing on bass in junior high school.[2]He turned professional before his age of majority. In 1948-49 he toured with guitarist Tiny Grimes.[2] He was house pianist at the Blue Note club in Philadelphia[3] from 1953 to 1956, accompanying many other leading players such as Lester Young, Jo Jones, Charlie Parker,Miles Davis, and Sonny Stitt.[2] He also played with Sonny Rollins, Melba Liston, and Coleman Hawkins, as well as singers Carmen McRaeand Aretha Franklin. Bryant later resided in Detroit, Michigan. From the late 1950s, he led a trio, performing throughout the world, and also worked solo. He toured Europe regularly after appearing at the Montreux Jazz Festival in 1973.[2] In addition, he was a noted jazz composer, with well-known themes such as "Cubano Chant," "The Madison Time," "Monkey Business," and "Little Susie" to his credit.
The musicians Kevin Eubanks, Duane Eubanks, and Robin Eubanks are his nephews, whose mother is Bryant's sister Vera Eubanks, a pianist and organist specializing in gospel music.[4] Bryant's brothers are the bass player Tommy Bryant (May 21, 1930 – March 1, 1982) and Len Bryant, who plays drums and is also a singer. Jennifer Bryant, who is Len Bryant's daughter, is a singer-songwriter and producer.
Both Tommy and Ray Bryant formed a trio with Oz Perkins as the back-up band for the off-Broadway run of the comedy show Cambridge Circus, at Square East in 1964. The show starred John Cleese, Bill Oddie, Tim Brooke-Taylor, David Hatch, Jo Kendall, Graham Chapman, Jonathan Lynn, and Jean Hart.
Bryant died in 2011 at the age of 79 in Queens, New York, after a long illness.
