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?

Hank Jones, last living of the three Jones brothers (Elvin and Thad). Great player even in his 90s.

Try Mitch Woods and His rocket 88's, "Solid Gold Cadillac". Great boogie woogie and blues. Features Ronnie Earl, Charlie Musselwhite, and Room Full of Blues Horns.
