To me, there’s very little that’s quite as beautiful as a fine jazz pianist – someone with great touch and sensitivity, a beautiful harmonic or lyric sense, a great sense of drive or maybe just the ability make you happy. Listen to these selections and see if some combination of these attributes don’t apply to them all.

Bill Evans – Nardis

Michel Petrucciani – Looking Up

Richie Bierach – Sea Priestess

Marian McPartland – A Delicate Balance
