John Tapscott Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 Here are a few who I really enjoy (the order is unimportant except for # 1 who is my favorite pianist) - Kenny Barron, Tommy Flanagan, John Hicks , Earl Hines, Barry Harris, George Cables, Art Tatum. A couple of the more recent pianists I admire include David Hazeltine and Tardo Hammer. Quote

BeBop Posted September 30, 2009 Report Posted September 30, 2009 bud powell bud powell bud powell bud powell bud powell bud powell Yes. Then, after one more 'bud powell', Hampton Hawes. And Count Basie, as much for what he didn't play as for what he did. And Monk, for what he did while sitting at the piano, or dancing around it. Quote
