Best solo piano recording...redbook CDs only...Jazz, easy listening, piano bar

Ola Gjeilo .. either Stone Rose or Piano Improvisations are both beautifully recorded (2L). He is a mash up of Jazz, Classical, and Pop genres.

Jan Gunnar Hoff is another from the 2L label .. LIVING is fantastic.

Craig Urquhart is a fabulous new-age composer and pianist .. his new album is Calm Seas. Secret Spaces is quite good and both are very relaxing for late night. 

Cool...Thanks Guys!!!

A current favorite is Luis Perdomo's " Montage".

Try the "Cocktail Piano" series by Jim Haskins. This will fulfill your piano bar crteria.
