Who is your favorite jazz pianist

With the passing of Oscar Peterson, I thought it would be great to hear some of your favorites. For me no one even came close to Oscar Peterson. He had the speed and agility of Bud and Monk, and the grace of Bill evans and brubeck. He had no equal.

I'm with the Ahmad Jamal suggestion..seems he's almost universally overlooked & yet he's been around for a very long time. The Essence 1 & 3 cd's are excellent. Also Jessica Williams. Great recordings too. Monk, Evans, Red Garland, all great.

Oscar Peterson - for his non-stop swing;
Bill Evans - for his elegance, beauty, and depth;
and Red Garland - for his soulful groove.
