Life and career

[edit]

Bowers was born in Los Angeles, California, on April 5, 1989.[2] His father is a film and television writer, and his mother is an executive at DirecTV.[3] Although neither of his parents received more than a high school education,[4] they wanted their son to play the piano, so they played recordings of pianists while he was still in the womb. They sent him to lessons beginning at the age of 4.[3] He had private classical music lessons starting at around the age of 9.[3] He listened to "classic soul records and hip-hop before falling under the spell of jazz, classical music, and film scores."[2] Bowers studied jazz and classical piano at Los Angeles County High School for the Arts[2] where his teachers included Mulgrew Miller and Donald Vega.[5] He studied jazz at Colburn School for Performing Arts.[6] He graduated in 2006[6] then attended Juilliard and obtained a bachelor's and master's degree in jazz performance.[2] While a student, he performed frequently in New York City.[2]

In the same year, Bowers played on Watch the Throne, a Jay Z and Kanye West album.[7] He then toured with Marcus Miller during 2012.[8] He has collaborated with musicians in several genres.[9][10] In late 2013, he recorded his debut album Heroes + Misfits (Concord, 2014).[11] An AllMusic reviewer commented that the pianist was "based in jazz but with an ear for contemporary R&B, film scores, and electronic music".[11] The album premiered at No. 1 on the iTunes Jazz charts.[12] His first film composition was for the 2013 documentary Elaine Stritch: Shoot Me.[13] In 2014, Bowers performed at the International Jazz Day Concert in Japan,[14][15] the Festival de Jazz de Vitoria-Gasteiz in Spain,[16] and at the London Jazz Festival.[17]

In 2015, his work on the showtime documentary Kobe Bryant's Muse gained him attention as an up-and-coming composer well-versed in a wide range of compositional styles.[18][7] In the same year, he scored two other Showtime documentaries: I Am Giant about the football player Victor Cruz and Play It Forward about Tony Gonzalez.[7] He was one of six composers invited to the Sundance Composers Lab in 2015.[19] In 2016, Bowers was invited to perform at The White House for the International Jazz Day Concert hosted by President Barack and First Lady Michelle Obama.[20]

In 2017, Bowers worked on the documentary Norman Lear: Just Another Version of You and the film Little Boxes, as well as the television programs Religion of Sports and Dear White People.[21][22] Also in 2016, Bowers composed music for the Amazon children's Christmas special, The Snowy Day, based on the 1962 book of the same title by Ezra Jack Keats.[23][24] It was for this show that Bowers received a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition.[25][26][27]

Bowers wrote the score for the 2018 film Green Book, which was nominated for the Critics' Choice Movie Award for Best Score.[28] He was also the piano teacher for the film's star, Mahershala Ali, and was Ali's stand in for some close ups of hands playing.[28] In 2019 Bowers wrote the score for Ava DuVernay's mini-series When They See Us.[29][30] He received his first Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards nominations for Outstanding Music Composition for a Limited or Anthology Series, Movie or Special.

In 2020, Bowers and Ben Proudfoot codirected the short documentary film A Concerto Is a Conversation, centering on Bowers' conversations with his grandfather about personal and family history.[31] The film, which premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, was an Academy Award nominee for Best Documentary (Short Subject) at the 93rd Academy Awards.[32] Since 2020, Bowers has been composing the score for Netflix's period drama, Bridgerton, being nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Music Composition for a Series.

Between 2020 and 2021, Bowers was involved in several projects. He worked on comedy horror film Bad Hair.[33]

Bowers wrote the score of the 2021 film Space Jam: A New Legacy.[34][35] and the 2022 film Chevalier.[36] In May 2022, the Monterey Jazz Festival commissioned Bowers to compose a work, which he presented that September at the annual event. The piece, Ásylo (Greek for sanctuary), commemorates the 30th anniversary of the nearby Monterey National Marine Sanctuary. Bowers had previously performed at the festival as a high school student for three years starting in 2003.[37][38]

In May 2023, Bowers worked on two original soundtrack projects for the series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story: the first one as the score of the series,[39] while the second one provided for the reinterpretation in a classical music key of pop songs,[40] working with Alicia Keys on the remaining of her song "If I Ain't Got You" as the lead single of the album.[41] In December 2023, Bowers composed the score of The Color Purple by Blitz the Ambassador.[42]

Collaborating and performing

[edit]

In 2015, Bowers teamed up with the choreographer Kyle Abraham, to create Absent Matter, which premiered at the Joyce Theater in New York City.[43] During the following year, Bowers and Abraham collaborated again on Untitled America for Alvin Ailey.[44][45]

Bowers performed at the White House for the 2016 International Jazz Day, hosted by President of the United States Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.[46] Bowers participated as a composer in the Sundance Film Composers Lab at Skywalker Sound in 2015.[47]

Bowers has paired his music with extensive and immersive dining experiences. In 2016, he was hired by Bang & Olufsen to create a score to accompany a multi-course meal prepared by chef Fredrik Berselius, founder of Aska.[48] In 2017, Krug commissioned Bowers to write compositions inspired by and paired with a signature Krug champagne.[49]

Artistry

[edit]

In a review of one of his early shows as a bandleader, The New York Times referred to Bowers' playing as "serious, thoughtful, organized, restrained; he made the piano sound good. His set had range and ambition and said something strong, sweet, and normative about phrasing and rhythm in jazz right now."[50]

Bowers' influences include "Oscar Peterson, Wynton Kelly ('for his comping and incredible feel'), Duke Ellington ('for his compositions'), Ahmad Jamal and Count Basie",[8] as well as John Williams.[51]
