Biography by Ron Wynn
Horace Parlan overcame physical disability and thrived as a pianist despite it. His right hand was partially disabled by polio in his childhood, but Parlan made frenetic, highly rhythmic right-hand phrases part of his characteristic style, contrasting them with striking left-hand chords. He also infused blues and R&B influences into his style, playing in a stark, sometimes somber fashion. Parlan always cited Ahmad Jamal and Bud Powell as prime influences. He began playing in R&B bands during the '50s, joining Charles Mingus' group from 1957 to 1959 following a move from Pittsburgh to New York. Mingus aided his career enormously, both through his recordings and his influence. Parlan played with Booker Ervin in 1960 and 1961, then in the Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis-Johnny Griffin quintet in 1962. Parlan played with Rahsaan Roland Kirk from 1963 to 1966, and had a strong series of Blue Note recordings in the '60s. He left America for Copenhagen in 1973, and gained international recognition for some stunning albums on SteepleChase, including a pair of superb duet sessions with Archie Shepp. He also recorded with Dexter Gordon, Red Mitchell, Frank Foster, and Michal Urbaniak, and recorded extensively for Enja and Timeless. He died in Denmark in February 2017 at the age of 86.

Biografía de Ron Wynn
Horace Parlan superó la discapacidad física y prosperó como pianista a pesar de ello. Su mano derecha fue parcialmente discapacitada por la polio en su infancia, pero Parlan hizo frenéticas y muy rítmicas frases para la mano derecha que forman parte de su estilo característico, contrastándolas con llamativos acordes para la mano izquierda. También infundió influencias del blues y el R&B en su estilo, tocando de una manera descarnada, a veces sombría. Parlan siempre citó a Ahmad Jamal y Bud Powell como sus principales influencias. Empezó a tocar en bandas de R&B durante los años 50, uniéndose al grupo de Charles Mingus de 1957 a 1959 tras un traslado de Pittsburgh a Nueva York. Mingus ayudó enormemente a su carrera, tanto a través de sus grabaciones como de su influencia. Parlan tocó con Booker Ervin en 1960 y 1961, y luego en el quinteto de Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis-Johnny Griffin en 1962. Parlan tocó con Rahsaan Roland Kirk de 1963 a 1966, y tuvo una fuerte serie de grabaciones de Blue Note en los años 60. Dejó América para ir a Copenhague en 1973, y ganó reconocimiento internacional por algunos álbumes impresionantes en SteepleChase, incluyendo un par de magníficas sesiones de dúo con Archie Shepp. También grabó con Dexter Gordon, Red Mitchell, Frank Foster, y Michal Urbaniak, y grabó extensamente para Enja y Timeless. Murió en Dinamarca en febrero de 2017 a la edad de 86 años.
