    It is hard to argue - too many greats available. Does seem to favor the jazz greats of the 50s - 70s. I would put Harry Connick up there for one of today's current artists. Maybe should have 2 lists - yesteryears pianists and modern jazz pianists? Good list nonetheless.

      Maybe because the greatest jazz came from the 50-70's?

        No, I don't think so.

        Some names that should have been on my list and some of these of these are contemporary artists.

        Harold Maybern
        George Cables
        Hampton Hawes
        Larry Willis
        Cyrus Chestnut
        Brad Mehldau
        Andre Previn

        I've seen Cyrus Chestnut live and he is simply amazing. He bubbling personality just flows into his music.

        Here's a video of Brad playing for those unfamiliar with his work.

          I wasn't trying to imply there were no great contemporary jazz pianists, quite the contrary. I still feel however the golden era of the greatest classic jazz is the 1950-70's, not the 21st Century.

            These lists (in all genres\variations) are great at picking up someone\something that you eother don't remember or haven't heard. Where it gets to be a problem is the one person who insists on a particular order and place for each person and takes it all way to personally.

            Thanks for the list as I couldn't have named 36 pianists and some of these I will have to take a closer look at.

            2. Schick 12"

            Cartridge: Miyajima Kansui and Premium BE Mono
            PhonoPre: AprilSound LR, EMIA Strain Gauge, EMIA silver SUT

              They should have named 88 jazz pianists because there are 88 black and white keys on a piano. Maybe they couldn't think of that many, I cant.

                I can't believe they left Andre Previn and John Lewis off the list.

                FYI.

                    Another pretty good up,and coming artist. Wonderful,sounding piano only not at its best in humid environments. But treasured among artists.
