Jazz suggestions please

Bennie Green. He's probably the one cat that incorporates all of these pianists you've mentioned. The CDs to get: "Greens," "The Place To Be," "Testifyin'." I promise that these cds will swing all night long!

I'm going to keep this mercifully short!

Shahens: for the style of jazz you're referring to, there are some great suggestions listed above. Having similar (but broader) tastes, I can suggest anything by Don Byas, Sonny Stitt (start with "Kaleidoscope" or "Constellation"), or Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers "Straight Ahead." This Blakey LP from 1981 is outstanding partly because it is live, partly the lineup, and also because it features a young, brash, and inventive Wynton Marsalis.

Shahens- check out the thread "Live Jazz Trio Recordings"
below. There are a number of excellent recordings worth
checking out.

If you're looking to build a collection, suggest you pick
up a Concord Jazz catalog. Lots of great music and deals.

Had the pleasure of hearing Mr.Peterson live a few times when I lived on the mainland, I think his recordings on the Pablo label captured him at the peak of his powers. My favorite is the 1981 live recording "Nigerian Marketplace," with Niels Henning Orsted-Pedersen on bass and Terry Clark on drums.
