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'll second the Art Tatum. Also a plug for my latest infatuation of Phineas Newborn. And, lastly, an honorable mention for my home town homie, Cyrus Chestnut.
I can't believe I forgot Bill Charlap, Hank Jones, and Kenny Barron in my list up above. Probably lots more too (I'm limiting to pianists still alive; at least I hope so). Dave
