Whether playing lyrical standards, composing complex extended works or jamming with his peers, Brubeck has always taken the artistic high road and done it his way. He shared a special bond with his sublime sax player Paul Desmond, and their tune "Take Five" from his milestone album Time Out became a surprise hit single and remains a standard to this day. - Nick Dedina]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.65269&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Pop-Jazz Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:42:36 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.65269 art.65269 Harry Connick, Jr. art.65269 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.65269&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.65269&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss is big -- both as an performer and actor. A native of New Orleans, he was a child prodigy who fell in love with jazz piano, and the rich musical legacy of his hometown has always informed his work. After moving to New York City, the handsome and charismatic Connick took a friend's advice and threw on some retro duds, he quickly landed a major recording contract. Connick's first two albums were jazz piano affairs, but when his pseudo-soundtrack for When Harry Met Sally (done in Frank Sinatra's patented 1950s Swingin' Lovers style) became a surprise smash hit that stayed atop the jazz charts for years, Connick kept the Sinatra thing going for a while. Then came an ill-advised but heartfelt New Orleans R&B detour. His old school R&B wasn't embarrassing, but since he'd always incorporated the feel of the city into much of his work, it did feel a bit redundant. When Connick returned to jazz-based pop music with 1997's To See You, one could hear his renewed enthusiasm - in fact, his recordings from this point on are often better and more exciting than some of his earlier, better-selling releases. Many critics have failed to see (or hear) how much Connick's singing, songwriting and piano playing have matured over the years. His single greatest development may be in the unheralded field of arrangements; his imaginative band charts on albums such as Come By Me and Songs I Heard show an originality and spark that would earn him acclaim in the jazz world if he weren't a pop star. At the same time, Connick take pains to strip all the other instruments away and show off his uncompromising jazz piano playing, often on Branford Marsalis' label. In 2007, he returned to New Orleans for Oh, My Nola, an album that contains all the verve and fire that his earlier efforts in the style sometimes lacked. - Nick Dedina]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6084&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Sun, 22 Nov 2009 10:09:50 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6084 art.6084 Herbie Hancock art.6084 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6084&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6084&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Maiden Voyage without seeming to break a sweat).

After swearing off the electric piano and organ, Jarrett proceeded to set the jazz world on its ear with his melodically masterful straight-ahead jazz dates and solo performances. In the legendary The Koln Concert (1975), he set the stage for a new breed of jazz that organically developed outside the realm of Bop -- though unfortunately a great number of new age pianists have butchered Jarrett's entrancing, rhythmic style. These days he tours sporadically, performing both classical and jazz music when not suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. - Noah Enelow]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6540131&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Bossa Nova Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:09:58 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6540131 art.6540131 Eliane Elias art.6540131 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6540131&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6540131&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5901&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Bop Wed, 7 Oct 2009 12:12:57 -0700 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5901 art.5901 Thelonious Monk art.5901 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5901&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5901&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Monk's Music, he placed the passionate Post Bop explorations of John Coltrane alongside the gruff proto-Swing of Coleman Hawkins.

Cousin Legrand is one talented wee bugger and an international treasure. - Nick Dedina]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5689&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:38:13 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5689 art.5689 Red Garland art.5689 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5689&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5689&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1081&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Fri, 2 Oct 2009 11:03:00 -0700 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.1081 art.1081 Dick Hyman art.1081 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1081&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.1081&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40943&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Post Bop Tue, 10 Nov 2009 10:13:23 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.40943 art.40943 The Bad Plus art.40943 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40943&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.40943&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10260&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Wed, 8 Jul 2009 13:08:00 -0700 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.10260 art.10260 Michel Camilo art.10260 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10260&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.10260&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44146&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Traditional Jazz/Dixieland Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:24 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44146 art.44146 Teddy Wilson art.44146 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44146&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44146&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6558&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:55 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6558 art.6558 Hank Jones art.6558 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6558&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6558&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4097&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:25 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.4097 art.4097 Billy Taylor art.4097 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4097&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.4097&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Sunday Morning. Taylor, who has always stayed firmly in the acoustic mainstream, looks so young much younger than his 80 years and works with such seemingly effortless grace that it is easy to take him for granted.

Cool Struttin', Leapin' and Lopin', and Sonny's Crib, in particular, rank among his career highlights. His sidemen included Hank Mobley, Art Blakey, Philly Joe Jones, Jackie McLean, Paul Chambers and John Coltrane -- a who's who list that indicates how fellow musicians regarded him. Outside connoisseur circles, however, he wasn't a well known commodity, and his premature death in 1963 at age thirty-one did little to help. Fortunately, there's been a resurgent interest in his work in recent years, aided by a number of long-overdue CD reissues. - Will York]]> http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3619&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:38:27 -0800 Top Jazz Piano Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3619 art.3619 Earl "Fatha" Hines art.3619 http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3619&variant=play&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3619&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fjazz-piano%2Fartist-chart.rss
