We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

Art Blakey — The entry states 'He traveled to Africa for about two years, primarily to study religion and philosophy, not drums' as a fact, but this claim is disputed and not universally accepted as true.
Bud Powell — Powell's grandfather is not widely documented as a musician; this is an unsubstantiated claim.
Bud Powell — He began classical piano lessons at age six, not five.
Coleman Hawkins — The claim that Hawkins's 1939 recording of 'Body and Soul' states the melody recognizably for only the first two bars is inaccurate; in the actual recording, Hawkins plays the melody recognizably for the first eight bars before departing into improvisation.
Coleman Hawkins — The description of 'Body and Soul' as 'one of the early tremors of bebop' is misleading; the recording is not typically categorized as bebop or an early tremor of bebop, but rather as a landmark swing-era performance that anticipated some harmonic innovations.
