Who's the best Jazz pianist, or your favourite.

Maybe not the best, but a huge influence and way up there -- big Earl Hines and Eubie Blake fan.

I don't believe in "best" for musicians...it isn't a competitive sport, like baseball or football, swimming etc. But, I highly recommend Alfredo Rodriguez. Quincy Jones initially produced his first albums and now co-produces with Rodriguez. I saw him live in Boston last year or so and he was worth the ticket. He is young and lively. Hands are fast and his stuff is uptempo Latin Jazz.
