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?

My favorites include Art Tatum who is probably the most technically proficient of any jazz pianist I have ever listened to. Very clean and articulate lines as if he were classically trained. He is a must if you are investigating where to start.

I personally like Errol Garner and Earl Hines. Bill Evans is quite enjoyable as well. There are many choices in this genre and many of the above mentioned would be included on my list.
