Who is your favorite jazz pianist

I recently saw Dan Nimmer, a piano player touring with Wynton Marsalis, for the third time. This was in a small local club, standing room only. He played with his trio. This young 24-25 year old just tears it open. Speed, timing and delicacy. Reminds me of a young Oscar Peterson mixed with Bill Evans. Incidently, I found two lps of his trio on the Venus label.

Jhon taylors tops on my list...oscar was a classic.So many,jarret,mays,stenson,kenny kirkland.For people looking for a killer recorded piano trio bobo stensons war orphans as good as youll get,imho.

As Dopogue said, there are too many great ones out there. I'd include Gene Harris and Joe Zawinul among my favorites. Gene's "Live at Maybeck" disk, and Joe's songs "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy" and "The Country Preacher" with Cannonball Adderly are absolute treasures.

As someone who listens to a lot of jazz piano, especially solo jazz piano, thank goodness for them all!

Zawinal and Brubeck

Lots of great players mentioned so far...

One that usually stays under the radar is Monty Alexander. His playing is like listening to a fireworks display!
