Jazz Pianists

Thanks Engine, I really really liked Cecil Taylor. I couldn't find Trance, but listened to a live recording of Neferti, The Beautiful One Has Come. Absolutely fantastic. Lennie Tristano too was fantastic. And Charles Mingus. I hadn't the slightest idea that he played piano before, but Plays Piano was a really good album. Thanks for all the suggestions guys! I have enough to keep me busy for a bit.

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

No offense, Duke.

There really isn't anyone topping Thelonis Monk, at least that I've heard.

Technically or creatively? I'd argue that Art Tatum is technically more proficient and Red Garland's style is more unique.

Herbie Hancock

Born in Chicago, Illinois, his parents named him after the singer and actor Herb Jeffries.
Hancock had a mainstream hit with the Grammy-award winning instrumental single "Rockit" from the album Future Shock. It was the first jazz hip-hop song and became a worldwide anthem for the breakdancers and for the hip-hop culture of the 1980s.
He's granted with the Miles Davis Award, by the Montreal International Jazz Festival, 1997
