Under Appreciated Jazz Piano Players

I second Ray Bryant–a phenomenal, funky, bluesy pianist. I think I'll go listen to a couple LPs right now . . .

Muzikat, Jconder - care to share a tasty title or two with respect to Ray Bryant?

Some great players so far, most of em are pretty well known and probably still under appreciated. Here are some more who have alot to offer:
Michael Wintsch
John Stetch
Anthony Davis
Rainer Brunnighaus
Misha Alperin
Mitchel Foreman
Myra Melford
Horace Tapscott
Francois Bourassa
Wayne Horvitz
Sakoto Fuji
Marylin Crispell
Eric Watson
Neils Thybo
Joachim Kuhn

Virtually anyone who recorded a solo recital for Concord CDs in the Maybeck Recital series. Largely terrific performances, in splendid sound. Look for all 40-odd of them... many have been remaindered recently. With perhaps one exception, all of them are highly enjoyable-- both those by pianist with whom I was previously familiar and by several who were new to me.
