Their best album?
Bonus points for the lesser known performers
/jazz/
Jaxon Ortiz
Josiah Russell
Hill is definitely my favorite. Compulsion might also be my favorite album of all time.
Owen Sanders
Andrew Hill is fantastic, but my all time favorite will forever be McCoy Tyner.
Tyler Price
i like Chick Corea
Dominic Cox
Hill is great. This might not be my favorite, but trio isn't usually his setting.
Liam Murphy
me desu
Grayson Jackson
Some time ago there was a jazz pianist posted on here, I listened to him for a little bit and I recall he was great, but can't remember anything about him. All I know is that he was black and a bit autistic/shy or at least that's what they said about him at the time. Who was it Yas Forums?
Aaron Sullivan
thelonious monk
Ayden Murphy
youtube.com
is it this guy? skip to 0:46 for the playing
Josiah Miller
nah it was more recent, I know about monk
Hudson Taylor
I like Jobim a lot because he’s not flashy, but his playing adds a lot to a song
Dylan Taylor
Also no, he was playing for quite a big audience iirc
Jordan Lewis
based, sounds good user
Carson Stewart
>Who's your favorite pianist?
Craig Taborn!
>Their best album?
Light Made Lighter if you're talking him as a leader, though I really like his playing on Graylen Epicenter.
I've been listening to a bunch of Jon Stickley Trio, primarily because Lyndsay Pruett is a fantastic violinist. There's definitely an interesting enough intersect between jazz and bluegrass, I find.
Cooper Stewart
jazz that's almost too funky?
Daniel Thomas
>black
>a bit autistic
Sound like Keith Jarrett
Brody Morris

Brandon Ross

Andrew Diaz
He's not my favorite and I don't know if he's even lesser known at this point because criss cross gets spammed a lot but David kikoski is great.
youtube.com
Since I'm sure everyone else will post Monk, Hancock, Bill Evans, etc.
Caleb Myers

I've been listening to a lot of Ryo Fukui recently. Anything similar to his style?
Daniel Harris
Yeah buddy that's the best boy yeyeyeyeyeye fuck your ryo fukui 2nd grade asleep in a coffee lounge bullshit gymnopedie no.1 my guy
Jackson Watson
Fukui is a pale imitation of Bill Evans (with a few dashes of Chick Corea for good measure)
Oliver Moore
Whilst I like Bill Evans, I find Fukui is more accessible. Any more "entry level" albums or performers like Fukui? Haven't listened to Corea but I know he did some more involved electronic stuff with his jazz
Anthony Jones
Does Kapustin count as jazz? If so then probably him.
Robert Baker
Ahmad Jamal
Nolan Cox
Try some Oscar Peterson, We Get Requests is pretty accessible.
Brayden Perez
>Ahmad Jamal
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check him out
