Favorite solo piano players...cds

Phillip Aaberg had a solo album out in the the mid "80s called "High Plains" on Windham Hill. Nice recording of some wonderful stuff. Wonder what ever happened to him, Montana boy?

Rudolf Serkin played Beethoven's piano sonata 30-32. Live recording released by Deutsche Grammophon.

He just provided totally different perspective.

As always, I've got to mention Bill Evans. I never heard a release of his that I did not absolutely love. Got to agree with [email protected], for suggesting Jerrett, Bley and Haden.

Shostacovich: Preludes and Fugues, 2CD set on Melodiya, played by A.Nikolajeva.
You can have the same by Keith Jarret on WEA I think, much less impassioned and less thoughtful rendering, more "romantic".

Jessica Williams has quite a few CDs out (www.jessicawilliams.com - get them direct from the artist) and always amazes me in concert and on disk.

Michel Petruccianni "au Theatre Champs-Elysses" has a 40 minute improvisation of his favorite songs that causes me to marvel at his inventiveness and technique.
