Don Pullen (December 25, 1941 - April 22, 1995) was an American jazz pianist and organist. Don Pullen developed an extended technique for the piano and a strikingly individual style, post-bop and modern, but retaining a strong feeling for the blues. He produced acknowledged masterworks of jazz in a range of formats and styles, crossing and mixing genres long before this became almost commonplace. By chance, unfortunately for his future commercial success if not for his musical development <a hr

Don Pullen (* 25. Dezember 1941 in Roanoke, Virginia; † 22. April 1995 in East Orange, New Jersey) war ein US-amerikanischer Jazzpianist, der auf seinem Instrument einen laut Scott Yanow überraschend leichten Zugang zum Avantgarde Jazz entwickelte. „Selbst wenn er sich relativ konventioneller Strukturen bediente, schüttelte er flinke Klangkaskaden aus dem rechten Ärmel, die zwar nicht so perkussiv wie die von Cecil Taylor waren, dafür aber fließender und mindestens ebenso aufregend.“
