Jazz piano moved away from playing lead melody to providing foundation for song sets; soon, skilled jazz pianists were performing as soloists. In the 1940s and -50s, a number of great piano players emerged. Pianists like Thelonious Monk and Bud Powell helped create and establish the sound of bebop. Bill Evans built upon the style of Bud Powell while adding a distinct classical influence to his playing. Much of his sound and many of his ideas went in to the making of Kind of Blue. Wynton Kelly, Red Garland, and Herbie Hancock were also exceptional pianists who played with Miles Davis.
