Not exactly new but a must listen for jazz piano fans:
Kenny Barron/Live At Bradley's 2002
Two more I would add, Marcin Wasilewski and Stefano Bollani.
Obviously Polish and Italian. 8^)
The problem I have with both Vijay Iyer and Taylor Eigsti is that their virtuosity seems to be an end in itself rather than to serve the music. Yes, they are both great technicians but for me that can sometimes get in the way.
Just my opinion as usual.
