May I suggest Jamie Cullum. Amazing jazz musician from England.

No mention of Kenny Kirkland very surprising.

I know he played with Sting and thats taboo for jazz fans but the guy can flatout dominate the keys.

Ah something I haven't really considered. I'd like to delve into some Jazz pianists.

<- Needs to listen to more Jazz.

Didn't see the fantastic Earl Hines on the thread either. Obviously channeling some Monk on this one. I love this recording from 64.

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

McCoy Tyner is probably my favourite these days. I'm also a huge fan of Alexander Von Schlippenbach.
