The above are all great suggestions. Bill evans is classic but don't forget oscar peterson. For 'popular' try claude bolling (suite for flute and jazz piano was one of the most popular jazz discs of all time at one point). There are lots more. Enjoy
Jazz Piano?
Alright, a few months ago I would have told you that I hate Jazz. I'm 24, I'm not supposed to like it. Problem is, my wife loves the stuff. So I'm watching MTV one day, and hear an interview with Jamie Cullum. I think, "Hey, here's something my wife will like, and something I could probably get into as well."
Turns out I love jazz piano. I've tried to listen to brass and guitar leads, but nothing hits me like piano does. Problem is, I don't have much of a collection-- none would be the more appropriate term. I need more.
So where should I start?
