"Parisian Thoroughfare," also known as "Parisienne Thorofare,"[2] is a jazz standard composed by pianist Bud Powell.[1][3][4][2] It is a contrafact of "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea".
It was first recorded by Powell in February of 1951 for Clef Records.[3] However, the first recording under its ultimate title was recorded on May 1 with Powell, bassist Curley Russell, and drummer Max Roach for Blue Note Records. Powell recorded it again in 1963 in France with Gilbert Rovere and Kansas Fields.[5]
