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.

While most of the pianist already chosen could qualify as my favorite, I'm suprised no one picked Bobby Timmons or Sonny Clark. In case you've forgotten how they sound I've included a few links.

Bobby Timmons worked with Blakey and the Messengers, he also wrote "Dat Dere" and "Moanin".

Sonny Clark wrote "Sonny's Crib" and his version of "Speak Low" is my favorite.
