I love jazz piano, and I found some great videos.
Here's a duet by Oscar Peterson and Count Basie called "Slow Blues" Another duet by lesser-knowns John Lewis and Billy Taylor And finally, one of my personal favourites - Dave Brubeck and his band playing "40 Days" in 1966. |

Couldnt have said it better myself mate. 'Well You Needn't' is a fantastic piece of music. Others I like include Bill Evans, Bob James, Dave Brubeck & Herbie Hancock. Aaron Goldberg is another one worth checking out.

Ok. The Chick Corea album you recommended was great Satchmo, as well as the Bill Evans Trio album. The Koln Concert by Keith Jarrett was definitely one of my favorites out of all these recommendations. I also have been looking into Dave Brubeck, he's pretty ****ing amazing. Monk Alone is one of the few albums I've had in my collection, and I already love that one. Art Tatum was really cool as well, I listened to his album Piano Starts Here which is now probably the oldest album in my collection. The ragtime stuff is really hit or miss for me. While I really enjoyed that album, I absolutely did not like the Fats Waller track. Also, Jelly Roll Morton was interesting, but not for me. Thanks for the recommendations everyone! I've decided I need more avant garde jazz so I'll be hunting down that in addition to more by all these people.
Any chance I could get the Chick Corea album Satchmo? And Trance, Engine? |

I posted this in the Albums You're Digging thread a while back, but this album deserves mention here about as much as this thread needs to be bumped.
The Red Garland Trio - Red Garland's Piano Sweet and mellow piano renditions of some excellent jazz standards. Definitely on the bluesier side of the jazz spectrum. Red is quickly becoming my favorite jazz ivory tickler. Very recommended. |

I love Spain. Excellent Corea album.
Dave Brubeck is great too. Take Five is a must have classic jazz album.A lot of his more popular stuff, like Take Five, isn't all that piano-centric. He did release a nice album a couple of years ago called Indian Summer, which is him doing some solo piano standards, and it is definitely worth checking out as well. |
