Holy fast fingers batman! Dazzler, that keith jarrett clip is great! I've never heard his playing before, known about him for years. See that's what I like, tunes. Jarrett has amazing chops but keeps it melodic throughout. He's like shearing on speed. What albums of jarrett do you recommend? Is there one playing all the classic standards like 'all the things you are'?

Well piano is a percussive instrument in a way. Many great pianists are also great drummers (Corea, Jan Hammer

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Yeah, that's why i need to mention DeJohnette, who is both a great jazz drummer AND jazz/classical/blues influenced pianist...also Gary Husband plays piano AW, & I understand that Chick, Zappa, & DiMeola are/were apparently "closet drummers"...
