Sonny Clark and Barry Harris as well are two of the hardest swinging pianists I know of out there. But I guess McCoy Tyner's the best, really. And then there's Michel Petrucciani.

Keith Jarrett because of 'The Koln concert'

I think the problem with a lot of the fusion music is that it's extremely predictable, it's a rock rhythm and the solos all play the same stuff and they play it over and over again ...

Been getting more into Thelonious Monk lately. That album with Coltrane that was released in 2005 is still one of my favorites from him.

I'm a Thelonius Monk fanboy.
Not so seriously, I once stole an album from his in a monastery when I was a felonious monk.

I really cannot decide between monk and bud powell, but since bud had.. ZERO votes, i had to vote for him ! guys, zero votes?! he's the bird on the piano.. now im going to listen to bud powell the rest of the night to compensate the lack of votes (even that there is no sense at all in this decision, its quite a good excuse to listen to him moaning for hours while playing piano. and that, didnt sound right, bt who cares :D )
EDIT: Oh crap, and there is no cecil taylor in that poll.. thats also a big crime xP Edited by dionisio - 16 Aug 2011 at 4:21pm |

I have more than one of his works, and Koln is definitly tops in any scale ... the sheer free form and playing ability in it, is insane and can not be taught ... you have to feel it, and not be entraped being stuck on scales and modifications of scales in order to get a result, and there are not a whole lot of piano players that are that free in order to be able to create something like this.
For my tastes, most of the piano players in the list are very nice, but too many of them are way too conventional and tend to just do one thing, and you can not say that about Keith Jarrett, who does all kinds of different musics and I bet that if he did a fun stint with a rock band, he could show a few bands some real chops!
For example: You can go to NY or SF, and hear hundreds of excellent piano players in any bar doing some jazz, or light jazz. Sadly, when you see what they are playing, 2 hours later, it is still the same thing, sounds the same and has no livelihood of its own sometimes for you and I unless we have a few more drinks. And I will get bored, just like you will.
Many of them were very nice and super enjoyable ... but in the end, on the last cut, I still hear almost the same thing, and I have to tell you that I like to hear more ... that is not there!

For me it begins and ends with Keith Jarrett, but in between is up for grabs.

Yeah, I'd say that Koln is really the tops of Jarrett's discography...
His series of albums with DeJohnette are nice as well , but don't compare to Koln...
------------------------
two british jazz pianist really worth it (outside Keith Tippet)
Michael garrick and John Taylor.

If it was the Koln Concert, I hope you are, that album stuns me. Haven't hear enough of his other stuff - keen to get 'expectations' and see what it's like. |

Finally picked up an LP by Keith Jarrett yesterday and I'm curious as to what I will hear when I get time to listen to it. I don't know much about the guy but I expect to be amazed.

Awesome, thank you! Will get on to these - though it just goes to show how long it's been since I played 'Round Midnight' from Davis  |

Well, you can check his albums with Miles Davis, the "First Great Quintet" where John Coltrane is also member. Albums like Round About Midnight, or the Workin'/Cookin/etc albums. Garland's band is also pretty great, albums like 'Dig It' and 'A Garland of Red'. |

Check Red Garland! He's an early "pioneer" of the block chord.

Went for Bill Evans as I'm currently obsessed with block chords - though Keith was close behind

Meant to get back yesterday Pablo but ran out of time, "Compulsion" is awesome. I call it his personally his percussion album. Not only does he have the extra 2 in the band but listen to how he plays that piano throughout. Percussion, he slams into those piano keys 
"Passing Ships", Not that mad on "Lift Every Voice" though. The one I am playing is great too "Pax". Alfred Lion from Blue Note loved him and just kept doing session after session with him. They had that much in the can and could not release it all without saturation. It is not like his albums were very big sellers either. Bobby Hutcherson's "Dialogue" he is all over as well and I highly recommend it. I like his later ones too. "Dusk" , "Time Lines"........."Blue Black" from the mid seventies
