I agree that Brad Mehldau is "closest" to Jarrett, but Jarrett is really one of a kind, mainly because just about all he does these days publicly is improv piano concerts. A lot depends on his mood and what he chooses to blend into his base--which is jazz piano--at the particular concert. The Koln concert is still the most popular, even though that occurred in the 70s (I have the original vinyl!), but he is still putting out albums of select improv concerts.
Though not quite the same as Jarrett, you might also try Bill Evans, who is a generation before Jarrett and influenced Jarrett's playing. Both Mehldau and Bill Evans have a number of full tracks and videos available through last.fm
