Ditto to all previous postings! To throw a few different names into the mix, one of the best from-every-perspective recordings I've come across in recent history is "McCoy Tyner with Stanley Clarke and Al Foster," - Telarc 2000. On a decent playback system, it really gives you that intimate jazz club, you are “there” live, experience. Also, check out Lyle Mays’ (of Pat Metheny Group fame) “Fictionary,” with Marc Johnson and Jack DeJonnette,
- Geffen 1993; an excellent virtuoso performance most closely aligned with mainstream classic jazz. Mays’ “Lyle Mays,” – Geffen 1986, on the other hand, is actually a “suite” of original works showcasing an amalgamation of styles that is Lyle’s alone. To me, it’s a work of pure genius. Finally, anything by Eliane Elias.
Gene Harris man! Mostly on Blue Note, Concord. Unbelievable player, fronted the Basie Band. A real pounder with great ideas and a style reminiscent of Errol Garner. Good luck.
Good list espcially from Frap. Here's a few more, most of them are well recorded some on electric piano:
Gonzalo Rubalcaba
Pat Coil
Remsey Lewis
Alphonse Mouzon
Joanne Brackeen
Antonio Carlos Jobim
Bobby Lyle
Gregg Karukas
Eddie Higgins has at least one well recorded disc (I have it but the name escapes me and my CDs are all out of order at the moment), great playing on this.
also try Dick Hyman's playing on reference recordings, awesome sound there!
