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.

I recently saw Dan Nimmer, a piano player touring with Wynton Marsalis, for the third time. This was in a small local club, standing room only. He played with his trio. This young 24-25 year old just tears it open. Speed, timing and delicacy. Reminds me of a young Oscar Peterson mixed with Bill Evans. Incidently, I found two lps of his trio on the Venus label.
