jazz/blues piano players

I have recently been enjoying jazz/blues piano players and am looking for some new tunes. I have been listening to Chuck Level, Charles Brown, and Prof. Longhair. I enjoyed watching Joe Sample last night on "Live From Abbey Road" but don't have any of his music. I prefer artists who can really tickle the ivories vs. electronic "smooth jazz." Any suggestions?

Some of these suggestions are stylistically/harmonically a long, long way from Professor Longhair and Charles Brown...
