Rachmaninov belongs to the aristocracy of composers. He never wrote a piece of music unless he had something to say and he never repeated himself; he never outstayed his welcome. No two of his piano pieces are alike, each one creates its own world. He lays his soul before us in music like the Second Symphony, yet it is noble as much as passionate.

A founding father of an accessible, R&B-inflected form of instrumental music called smooth jazz, Grusin is rare among the best jazz pianists for having also set up his own record label, GRP, in 1978. Originally from Colorado, Grusin began releasing piano-led albums under his own name in the early 60s, a decade that also saw him break into the world of television music, where he wrote themes for numerous US TV shows. Grusin went on to become a prolific composer of movie scores (among them On Golden Pond and The Fabulous Baker Boys) and has also released a raft of keyboard-oriented studio albums.

Prior to the MJQ, he was a sideman for Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Miles Davis. Outside of his band, Lewis made many albums under his own name, the earliest in 1955.

Originally from Memphis, Tennessee, Mabern is unique among the best jazz pianists for having begun as a drummer before switching to piano. Moving to Chicago, and then New York, he was regarded as a go-to sideman in the late 50s and early 60s (playing with the likes of Cannonball Adderley, Jackie McLean, Roland Kirk, and Wes Montgomery) before beginning his own recording career, which started at Prestige Records in 1968. A virtuoso who is fully fluent in bebop, modal, and post-bop jazz styles, Mabern is still actively recording and performing today at the age of 81.

Born and raised in Detroit, Harris, whose mother played piano in church, was an early starter, taking up his chosen instrument at the age of four. When he was older, he was smitten by jazz and fell under the spell of modernists Bud Powell and Thelonious Monk. By the 50s, Harris was a jobbing pianist and worked with Miles Davis, Sonny Stitt, and Gene Ammons; in the 60s he gigged with Cannonball Adderley. Stylistically, Harris is a staunch disciple of hard bop, which is reflected in the horn-like phrasing of his right-hand melodies, complex rhythmic syncopations, and dense harmonization. One of the best jazz pianists still with us from the bebop era.

Nat King Cole, was probably better known for his vocals, than being a piano player. His piano playing, to me was rather too simplistic and mundane when compared with the likes of Red Garland and Oscar Peterson.

My interest is in most classical piano but admire jazz pianists who possess a solid thorough technique AND play with something resembling a pleasant singing tone. I have no use for the percussive style virtually devoid of dynamics that many exhibit. I agree with a couple of dozen on the list, but I would have thought that Maryanne McPartland deserved an entry somewhere. I agree with the guy who thought Iturbi was a better jazz pianists than many on this list.

Erroll Garner is a forgotten genius, should be placed at no.1 or no.2, his playing range was so wild and his style was so distinctive, his musical ability is outstanding. he was left handed and ambidextrous, he often fuses classical elements into his improvisation, this man really revolutionized jazz piano ,the no.10 Ahmad Jamal said Erroll Garner and Maurice Ravel were the supreme melodists of the 20th century, most of these top jazz pianists list will always be like art tatum- herbie hancock-bill evans so and so, I mean they are good, but people need to listen to more music.

Alan Broadbent, Aaron Diehl, Hiromi,there are so many out there. A list of the ten greats certainly would includeTatum, Evans, Bud Powell. Shearing, Oscar, Michele Le Grand ( for the few of us who have heard him live). Bill Charlap deserves recognition. Monk is in the Pantheon, not for his playing, but for the totality that he brings to the genre

I think there are two important ones missing. First, Lennie Tristano had a bigger influence on jazz piano than most people think about. Tristano contributed some extremely interesting rhythmic perspectives.

I am impressed that Art Tatum is number one ( no argument here ), and that Fats Waller and James P. Johnson made the lst, although they should both be much higher. Tough to include Joplin, who, although he was a great composer, and, arguably the first , left no recordings, save for his ( no doubt edited ) piano roll of Maple Leaf Rag.

TV fans are probably aware of the TV series HOUSE.HOUSE is played by the great actor and multi-instrumentalist HUGH LAURIE.Aside from guitar, vocals, saxophone and harmonica, he plays a mean jazz piano!On one episode, he plays a nice version of GEORGIA and on another plays a more classical oriented piece.However, on another episode he played a weak rock guitar solo. I shall assume that he did not intentionally want to show off like he did with the piano.

We are comparing piano players,musicians and arrangers. The piano is by far the most complex instrument.Harmony rhytm and melody .We are comparing inventors,innovators or persons who copied or refined a style .We are comparing blues stride boogie ballads funky salsa musicians And at the end of the day your taste decide.I have been transcribing and analysing piano music for a lifetime,as a professional player.Compliment for the list is really reasonable .It s impossible to agree on names.Any musician does certain slyles or particulars better.Harmonisations,complex funky grooves, stride pop jazz ballads ,new ideas,tango jazz, gospel rock and so on.But ,generally speaking,when you trancribe and compare you understand a lot.For instance the quality of Bill Evans texture and harmony is very sophisticated and complex .Art tatum does in a minute more modulations and notes than Mozart in 20 minutes.Jarret can improvise with an astounding freedom.Piano Music is an handmade product .You can copy or to invent a own convincing style like a painter an actor a sculptor.But somebody stands out for superior quality .Talking with great pianists we mostly agree that Tatum was simply unbeliaveble technically but musically too ,,he did too many notes but he could play with great feeling and romance.I agree with the number one. As an arranger for romantic ballads i see Evans as the very romantic tasty arranger who never become too cerebral.Hancock a pioneer in funky modern piano ,Corea agreat innovator ,fantastic musician sometimes a bit cold and complicated.Peterson the king of bluesy swing piano ,one of the few who could make a show with the piano.I could add hundred of very good pianists but i think that the top 5 is rather well defined.Astonishing musicians who reinvented the piano and had theyr own convincing style.To Arrange for piano is a very complicated and extremely interesting art .

Leif Ove Andsnes has an uncanny knack of revealing the inner truth of the music he plays without recourse to excessive gimmickry. He also has exquisite taste when it comes to choosing his chamber music collaborators, as this pairing of the two cornerstones of the piano quintet repertoire demonstrates.

Although Frédéric Chopin was one of the greatest piano virtuosos of his time, even pianists of moderate technical ability can enter into his Romantic, magical realm. His mastery was such that his own, unmistakeable style is tangible even in his shorter, less difficult pieces such as his mazurkas and waltzes. Our selection offers a progressive introduction to the musical language of this Polish-French master.
