One could never pick a top 10, let alone 20. So many great ones! Others mention Bud Powell and McCoy Tyner, but I would add Earl Hines, Fats Waller, Nat Cole, Teddy Wilson, Dave Brubeck, and a few others too. Generations differ in style, but the feeling & technique shine through. So many more deserve mention! Maybe a top 50 could get most of them in.

[@danwaldis4553]

Yes -- nicely put! This list did include 10 of my favorites. Each made unique and brilliant contributions to the art!

[@markhiggins8315]

Bud Powell - one of the genuine geniuses of the piano. Any list without him makes no sense. Ask any serious pianist and he'll be close to the top of every list. Most of the guys on this list idolized Bud.

[@MarimaruXD]

Very few would care about Bud even though his lines and chordal melodies were better which is unfortunate.....

[@markhiggins8315]

@@MarimaruXD I'd like you to explain a little more clearly what you're actually saying. If you wish to minimise Bud's level of execution at his peak or suggesting his influence isn't as profound as it clearly is you need to get an education. If I've misinterpreted what you're saying I apologize. Could you be more specific please.

If you're referung to the general population, I'm sure you have a point, but I know that most top tier jazz musicians have enormous regard for his immense contribution to improvised music. Glad you appreciate his talent and sorry I missed your point.

[@desperatetimes5873]

I think of the great Jimmy Rowles. What are you thinking to make such lists??? See the youtube where Oscar Peterson features Rowles on his TV show. Oscar revered Rowles. Rowles could take the most mundane tune and infuse some indepth chordal progressions to create a masterpiece.

Bud Powell is the godfather

[@stilllearning9590]

Erroll Garner has that rare ability to be technically innovative and yet appeal to a wide audience. Bud Powell, the guy who out Dizzed Dizzie Gillespie and out Birded Yardbird Parker when be-bop ruled. Petrucciani and Camilo both display virtuosity and that x factor that captivates a wide audience. Lists like this reveal the style of jazz preferred by the assessor.

[@kadiummusic]

Yes so true, he REALLY did have it all but especially touch and feel and also his percussive technique which seemed to come naturally to him but was incredibly sophisticated sometimes. Pure genius.

[@disculpateurdifferentiel4416]

It's so arbitrary to decide which are the 10 best pianists. I share your point of view, they're all great pianists. The question is that your list leaves out dozens of others. Yes, it's a personal list, but all the same... I'd still have liked to hear Erroll Garner on the list. And that there were 11 of them, because it would have been a shame to have to replace him.

[@terryhicks3577]

Erroll Garner for sure has to be in there-I would overall rate him the best ever;his originality touch and musicality,his amazing intros-and he hardly looked at the keyboard -and he was a picture to watch-unmatched even by Oscar who was the greatest technically and Erroll was a great composer also-no others matched this.But still a good bunch there-always hard to pick ten as been some great players earlier on not so much these days sadly.

You said it buddy! it was like an angel had come down and sat at the piano when Erroll played. In a class all of his own.

When people understand that music is not about speed and technique, it´s not a horse race, they will value some other pianists like Bill Evans, Clare Fischer, Michel Petruccianni and Makoto Ozone. When I was a teenager I valued too much speed. Oscar Peterson, Liszt and many other were my idols. Not that they aren´t good, this is not the case, but beginners tend to appreciate only speed, technique and showmanship. When you´re growing old, you can really appreciate music the way it should. There´s a saying: "When the musician is beginning to be greater than the music he produces, there is a BIG problem".
