I don't know too much about piano players, but I know that some of those classical piano players, and jazz ones too, sometimes really amaze. Sometimes I wonder how a human being can do those things.
What about Mike Garson? I love everything he's done with Bowie. | |

I'd have to disagree. Renato comes off as a consummate pianist, compared with Prince's tasteful skills. RN burns. I completely agree Renato is a master of the keys and deserves much more recognition and respect than he gets. Also Bernie Worrell. Time is a trick.... | |

I must of course confess that I don't know half of these guys by these pictures alone, but those shots are so damn great, that I want to learn all about their music. Thanks Harlepolis! | |

I always thought that "The Ballad of Dorothy Parker" on the "It Ain't Over" CD alone shows that Renato can do things on the keys that Prince can't. Not to put Prince down, though. He never played those clear, on-the-point solos, though. | |

Don't let anybody tell you different. Renato Neto is bad MF on keys. tA ![]() http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

These are some cats, who I believe, haven't been mentioned yet.
Some are well known, and others should be... Joe Zawinul David Sancious John Lewis (Modern Jazz Quartet) Ramsey Lewis Eugene Mazlov Bill Evans Gil Evans Les McCann Cecil Taylor Dick Hyman Johnnie Johnson (Chuck Berry) Vince Guaraldi Eubie Blake Nat King Cole Fats Domino Scott Joplin Wynton Kelly Chuchu Valdez Victor Feldman Kenny Kirkland Marcus Roberts Chucho Valdez Tom Coster James Newton Howard ...That's all I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there's more. tA ![]() http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 "Ya see, we're not interested in what you know...but what you are willing to learn. C'mon y'all." | |

Has anyone mentioned little Richard yet? Again, he may not top the list of most technically accomplished players but I'll still attest to this day that despite his seldom use of prominent electric guitar and how much more refined or loud or distorted rock n roll has gotten over the years, that Little Richard rocks as well and as intensely as just about anybody who came afterwards and does it just by bangin on the ol' 88.
Edit: Looks like RipHer2Shreds listed him [Edited 6/24/06 4:25am] | |

Glenn Gould Evgeni Koroliov (completely underrated, he's a genius) Vladimir Horowitz Lang Lang (if I want to hear virtuosity) Daniel Barenboim [Edited 6/23/06 4:21am] I would add Martha Argerich. | |

Jamie Foxx is surprisingly good. He studied Jazz and Classical, I believe. | |
