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?

Get Dave Grusin Homage to Duke I promise you that you won't be disappointed. Count Basie Breakfast Dance and BBQ is also special.

These are a couple of way underrated pianists, IMHO.

Dave Grusin Mountain Dance and Count Basie

I know you don't like electric but you please endure this it is soooo amazing...listen carefully to the organ it is about as perfect as it gets.
