Bryant
was born in Huntington, West Virginia, and grew up in Columbus, Ohio,
becoming a fixture of the local jazz scene. He worked with Tiny Grimes
and Stomp Gordon before founding his own ensemble, the Carolyn Club
Band, in 1951. He signed with Dot Records in 1954 and released several
albums as a leader in the second half of the 1950s. In 1952, his live
recording “All Nite Long” (a faster version of “Night Train”) became a
hit R&B single in the U.S.
Bryant's contract with Dot ended in 1957, and he returned to Columbus to do mostly local engagements, playing often with pianist-organist Hank Marr. Nancy Wilson also sang in his group. It wasn't until his appearance on the 1968 Groove Holmes album That Healin' Feelin' that he resurfaced beyond regional acclaim, and soon after he began leading dates for Prestige Records. He recorded extensively for the label from 1969 through the middle of the 1970s, being a sideman with Ivan “Boogaloo Joe” Jones, Johnny “Hammond” Smith, Charles Kynard, and Sonny Phillips; his 1970 release Soul Liberation was his most commercially successful, reaching No. 35 on the U.S. Black Albums chart and No. 15 on the Top Jazz Albums chart. Bryant continued to record into the early 1980s, then returned to mostly local dates in Columbus. He died there in 1991.
Rusty Bryant was the father of Eric Royal Bryant and pop singer Stevie Woods, the latter having a moderately successful recording career in the early 1980s with the top 40 hit songs “Steal the Night” and “Just Can't Win 'Em All.” Rusty was the grandfather of Tiana Woods, an L.A. based singer/songwriter and front woman for the band “Living Eulogy.”
Though they resemble and share the same surname, Rusty Bryant and jazz pianist Ray Bryant are not related.

Bryant
nació en Huntington (Virginia Occidental) y creció en Columbus (Ohio),
convirtiéndose en un fijo de la escena local del jazz. Trabajó con Tiny
Grimes y Stomp Gordon antes de fundar su propio conjunto, la Carolyn
Club Band, en 1951. Firmó con Dot Records en 1954 y publicó varios
álbumes como líder en la segunda mitad de la década de 1950. En 1952, su
grabación en directo "All Nite Long" (una versión más rápida de "Night
Train") se convirtió en un exitoso sencillo de R&B en Estados
Unidos.
El contrato de Bryant con Dot terminó en 1957, y regresó a Columbus para hacer principalmente compromisos locales, tocando a menudo con el pianista-organista Hank Marr. Nancy Wilson también cantó en su grupo. No fue hasta su aparición en el álbum de Groove Holmes de 1968 That Healin' Feelin' que resurgió más allá de la aclamación regional, y poco después comenzó a liderar fechas para Prestige Records. Grabó mucho para el sello desde 1969 hasta mediados de la década de 1970, siendo acompañante de Ivan "Boogaloo Joe" Jones, Johnny "Hammond" Smith, Charles Kynard y Sonny Phillips; su lanzamiento de 1970, Soul Liberation, fue su mayor éxito comercial, alcanzando el número 35 en la lista de álbumes negros de Estados Unidos y el número 15 en la lista de álbumes de jazz. Bryant continuó grabando hasta principios de la década de 1980, y luego volvió a actuar principalmente en locales de Columbus. Murió allí en 1991.
Rusty Bryant era el padre de Eric Royal Bryant y de la cantante de pop Stevie Woods, esta última tuvo una carrera discográfica de moderado éxito a principios de los 80 con las canciones de éxito en el top 40 "Steal the Night" y "Just Can't Win 'Em All". Rusty era el abuelo de Tiana Woods, una cantante y compositora afincada en Los Ángeles y líder de la banda "Living Eulogy".
Aunque se parecen y comparten el mismo apellido, Rusty Bryant y el pianista de jazz Ray Bryant no son parientes.
