[[Bill Evans]], who described Powell as his single greatest influence, paid the pianist a tribute in 1979: "If I had to choose one single musician for his artistic integrity, for the incomparable originality of his creation and the grandeur of his work, it would be Bud Powell. He was in a class by himself".<ref>{{Harvnb|Paudras|1998|p=ix}}</ref> [[Herbie Hancock]] said of Powell, in a ''[[DownBeat]]'' interview in 1966: "He was the foundation out of which stemmed the whole edifice of modern jazz piano".<ref name="Reed">{{cite web|last1=Reed|first1=Leonard|title=Bud Powell Gets His Long Overdue Due|url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1994-11-13-ca-61998-story.html|website=Los Angeles Times|access-date=June 7, 2017|date=November 13, 1994}}</ref> Heckman wrote, "his influence ultimately reached well beyond [bebop]'s relatively hermetic world" and noted his influence upon Silver, [[Oscar Peterson]], Evans, [[Keith Jarrett]], Tyner and Corea.<ref name=":9" /> Pianist [[Toshiko Akiyoshi]], upon arrival in the United States, remarked when an interviewer inquired as to her favorite pianists: "Art Tatum and Bud Powell.

Additionally, Powell influenced musicians associated with other instruments, and [[Miles Davis]] in his autobiography said of Powell: "[He] was one of the few musicians I knew who could play, write, and read all kinds of music."<ref>{{Harvnb|Davis|Troupe|1989|p=60}}.</ref> "Bud was a genius piano player – the best there was of all the bebop piano players."<ref>{{Harvnb|Davis|Troupe|1989|p=103}}.</ref> The drummer [[Art Taylor]], who is listed among the personnel on about a dozen Powell recordings, elicited comments concerning Powell from numerous musicians in his 1993 book of interviews, ''Notes and Tones''. In the book, Elvin Jones described Powell's playing as "revolutionary," but noted his delicate personality.<ref name=":5">{{cite book | last = Taylor | first = Art | title = Notes and Tones: Musician-to-Musician Interviews | publisher = [[Da Capo Press]] | location = New York | year = 1993 | isbn = 030680526X }}</ref> Regarding his ill health, [[J. J. Johnson]] said after Powell's death, "many so-called jazz buffs and curiosity seekers knew Bud only as an oddball or weird character. Only his old friends and the seasoned jazz fans knew the real Bud, who was warm, witty, and one of the most intelligent persons I ever knew."<ref name=":15" />
