I accidentally made a new thread about this. Whoops! Anyway, I love Oscar Peterson and McCoy Tyner. They both are masters of phrasing and technical ability. However, I think that often times Wynton Kelly gets less credit than he deserves. He was a pioneer of jazz-based r&b and wrote songs for Oscar Peterson for several years before joining a more contemporary-flavored soul band in the 70s.
