Best jazz pianists/keyboardists ?

[DJ Excellence]

My vote goes to :

1. Ahmad Jamal : his music is just awesome , very soulful ....

2.Herbie Hancok : very versatile , comfortable with both the grand piano and synthesizers. Also a very intelligent man , with an engineering degree : he has even built several unique synthesizers !!!

3. Duke Ellington : his technique was just awesome, very dark sound ....

4. Art Tatum : okay , he wasn't a composer ... but damn his technique is just unmatchable check out "Tiger Rag"

I just love to sample their work

peace,
