Best Jazz pianist

Thanks, Jazdoc. No I'm gonna get me some Tatum.
For now I am partial to Bill Evans, Monk & Oscar. Cheers,
Spencer

So many good choices as to be expected, there have been many talented pianist over the years and then factor in the multitude of styles.
I'll base mine on who I find myself listening to the most often.
Theloneous Monk, Herbie Hancock, Kenny Barron, Tommy Flanagan and the sleeper on my list Barry Harris (a pure bopper with a beautiful left hand).
I could name many more, I 'm just glad someone recorded these fabulous musicians.
Regards,

Phineas Newborn, Horace Tapscott, Bobby Timmons

Definitely... Monk.

Oscar Peterson
