"Super lame" is a bit harsh. I would say that most people who know much about piano would at least say that Tatum was the greatest. Horowitz though he was great. Brubeck said that he was like a Mozart. You don't hear those pianists talked about as much as the ones that I mentioned. My opinion is based on fact. I play the piano and have listened to those whom you have mentioned. Those pianists are very good, but clearly not great geniuses. Monk was not a great piano player.
I grew up listening to him. My father was a major fan. He played many of his popular standards for decades. From the fifties though to the seventies. One can hear subtle changes in his style over time and a growing sophistication in his delivery. This stuff in the sixties is maybe him at his best.
jesus!!!! of all my years of listening to jazz , how come i never heard of this guy . only hear about herbie hancock , mccoy, etc . men this guy is solid and he knows his stuff . quality chords with a sense of touch . speed ,and gentleness . this is good . am just became a fan of him
@alexjrmarino They are very good artists, but not great geniuses. Evans, Peterson, Tatum, and Garner are in a class of achievement all by themselves, kind of like the Chopins, Franz Lizsts, and Rachmaninoffs of jazz piano. Listen to the Chopn and Keats-like lyricism of Evans, the great touch, ryhthm of Tatum and Peterson, plus the melodic gifts of all of them. I've listened to them for more than forty years and am still in shock from their great abilities.
@MrRickywallace Everybody has his taste, you obviously are keen to technique and stand alone players, so OK. But, to say monk, tristano or hines are not geniuses is just super lame.Very Good Artists are the guys from today, which take their ideas from the past. Back then,guys like monk were misunderstood and just because they are not so well known, doesn't mean they are not at par with your favourite. I'll just say that Tatum owned every record that Hines made and improvised over his music daily
Immortel, Erroll Garner est toujours là, avec nous, les amoureux du jazz. Regardez-le, d'ailleurs il nous regarde, souriant, sans se prendre au sérieux, heureux de jouer, d'être là... Sans parler de son jeu, de ses subtilités sur les touches, de son humour, sa joie. Je l'ai découvert à 15 ans (j'en ai 58...) et ce fut une révélation puissante. Et je l'écoute toujours avec la même émotion, quel que soit le morceau. C'est toujours réussi, complet, généreux, touchant.
Pour moi la meme: je l' ai decouvert quand j"avais 11 ans. Et a l'age de 12 ans mon cadeau pour mon anniversaire : ONE WORLD CONCERT by this wonderful pianoplayer!

@MrRickywallace Well he is great but in jazz he is a Tatum wannabe more than an inovator

Un génie du piano probablement habité par l'âme d'un Mozart ou d'un Chopin venue se réincarner en lui et éclater en supernovæ.
C'est l'extase. Je deviens vraiment fan depuis que je l'ai découvert il y a quelques jours.
