Non classical piano based music recommendaiton

Hi, I really like the piano and was hoping to get some recommendations for non classical cds. I also do not necessarily mean George Winston or smooth jazz either. Anything with the piano, with or without a vocalist would be fine. Great recording quality is not a must but of course it helps!

Thanks in advance.

I could go on all day on this one-
Herbie Hancock-"Gershwin's world" and an older album with Milton Nascimento-"Miltons"
Any Brad Meldau--one of the exciting younger players
Keith Jarrett- "facing you " (his first solo Lp on ECM) and Lou Harrison's compositions with Keith on piano and small orchestra
If you guys are mentioning Elton than how about Leon Russell and even early Billy Joel

Well,

Liz Story on Windham Hill

Evans and Monk, certainly. Herbie Hancock's Maiden Voyage.
Modern jazz pianist Jessica Williams is terrific.

For rock, try Ben Folds. Piano-driven smart rock music.
