May I suggest Jamie Cullum. Amazing jazz musician from England.

No mention of Kenny Kirkland very surprising.

I know he played with Sting and thats taboo for jazz fans but the guy can flatout dominate the keys.

Ah something I haven't really considered. I'd like to delve into some Jazz pianists.

<- Needs to listen to more Jazz.

Didn't see the fantastic Earl Hines on the thread either. Obviously channeling some Monk on this one. I love this recording from 64.

When it comes to jazz pianists there's Thelonious Monk and then everyone else.

No offense, Duke.

McCoy Tyner is probably my favourite these days. I'm also a huge fan of Alexander Von Schlippenbach.
