Albeit not known for his piano work, Sun Ra is a pretty incredible pianist. Apparently he learned to site read at the age of 10, completely self taught, and has pretty much consistently testing the bounds of what the keyed instrument can do throughout his career.

A great example of his piano work is the album "Aurora Borealis".

Al Pacino = God
