There are some absolutely stunning pianists listed here ( my personal all time favs are Art Tatum then Bill EVans.) I'll just add another name to the mix ( apolpgies if I've missed it in the thread) - Bill Charlap. I don't think he's yet in the absolute upper pantheon but he's already very very good and I'd love to see what he's up to in a few years.As an aside , I caught Brad Mehldau live here in New Zealand a couple of weeks back and thought he was stunning.
