INCREDIBLE!!!! That anyone could play so trancendantly beautiful! The words needed to describe this piece have not been invented. It was a revelation!!
@RobeGre -- Ferdinand "Jelly Roll" Morton, Jimmy Yancey, James P. Johnson, Willie "The Lion" Smith, Duke Ellington (oh yes, he was a great pianist too!), Thomas "Fats" Waller, Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson, Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk, Bud Powell, Lennie Tristano, Richard Twardzik, Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Keith Jarrett, Cecil Taylor, Paul Bley ... That's the premier league, pal.
@phenylphenol You can hear the Tatim influence,but with greater economy.

I love Bud. I saw him at Birdland and he shook my hand when he came off the bandstand.

@myself -- I forgot to mention Erroll Garner, George Shearing, Nat "King" Cole, Dave Brubeck, Oscar Peterson & Hampton Hawes.
You can't do anything wrong if you have their best recordings on your shelves.
