Greatest Pianist (Modern era)
 

Who tickles the ivory best for you?


Vince Guaraldi (all time greatest no one will ever be as good as him [PERIOD])

Also can be added to the "What are you listening to" thread.

I know it's not classical Sap but Allen Toussaint holds his own..I'm not really up to speed with the classical side of the spectrum

Vince is a Jazz guy. You would best know him from the "Peanuts" TV shows. He wrote "Linus and Lucy" other wise best known as the Charlie Brown music.

Mike Garson is one of my personal favorites.

Right on Sap..I've tried to tackle the Charlie brown theme before on keys to no avail!I'm not able to split my brain in two playing THAT bass line, along with the melody @ the same time;tough stuff for sure..for me anyways!lol I'm not all that polished on keys.

"The Texan Who Conquered Russia." (Born in Shreveport tho)

wouldn't mind being able to play like this cat

this one kills me

Hmmm ... nobody has mentioned the Piano Man yet ...

good stuff guys!

i would say ray charles, elton john benny and the jets

i was going to say sir elton.

Crocodile Rock

watch that video.,.. it's hilarious... he's on the muppets

R.I.P Billy Powell

my bad, he is that respected. he came to lafayette this fall and the ole lady did'nt want to spring the 90 bucks to attend.

get a new one.

how the hell was he in lafayette and I never heard anything about it?

I certainly wouldn't put him in the Greatest category, but Jason D. Williams should at least be mentioned.

I like that cat. I used to play one of his records when I worked at KJAE. "Waitin' on Ice" I believe it was...dude sounded EXACTLY like Jerry Lee Lewis.

If he wouldn't override her on the $90 tix, he can't afford to get a new one....

Ray Charles :cool: I miss him.

I am fortunate to have seen this guy twice in concert. Many years apart, but excellent both times.

Greatest Pianist Modern era. That is tough. Not so much the greatest but one I like for his performances and inventive composing - Ryuichi Sakamoto

Killer Jr. is well rehearsed..

dude is that the guy from Balls of Fire? it's gotta be...

I'm pretty sure he isn't Cash but he sure as hell got the stage antics

yeah man after I watched it again I realized how young he is...

You mean the movie? No. That was Dennis Quaid. This guy is a legitimate musician. He recorded for RCA for a while - quite a while back...I'd say early 90's. I'm not sure what he's doing these days...but he can play...

Welcome Back my Friends to the Show that never ends. Keith Emerson

Emerson,Lake,and Palmer??

karn evil #9 1st impression

That would definately sound like one of their many songs composed at 18 mins or longer;if it isn't their song!LOL Man I never got in real deep with Emerson too much but a bass player I jam with bleeds it @ times..Dam good listening that's for sure..Organ for days

+1 when I'm able Cash!I didn't know that technical work of arts title.Goes to show I'm lacking on Emerson,and many others!!lol one word...TECHNICALLL!

y'all are talking about the pianist... I played drums in high school.. that song is just on another level.

for those who have never heard this, you can keep your man card... but you don't deserve your "musical taste" card. give it back.
