kevin Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I was in a lounge just sitting there listen to this one guy play some amazing piano.. and I realized I really like it. So I'd appreciate it if you guys would recommend me some great piano players or pieces to listen to. I really liked this guys version of "Time" by Pink floyd. It was so good!

Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Chopin is pretty accessible, another favorite of mine is Chabrier, he's sort of unknown. Otis Spann was the greatest of Blues pianists. There were many great Jazz pianists, but Bill Evans really used the tone of the instrument to his advantage.

Zint Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard depends what you're looking for in piano music really...there's tons of recommendations that can be made Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adnan Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 In modern terms: Jerry Lee Lewis, David Sancious, Roy Bitten, and of course Johnnie Johnson. Beethoven was excellent looking at classical music.Then you have me of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zint Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Of course there's the undeniable brilliance of Glenn Gould! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeppelin Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Well, if you like just instrumental piano songs, then this recommendation may not be to your liking so much, but anything by Billy Joel. Just an amazing pianist. He has a few instrumental songs such as Root Beer Rag and The Mexican Connection, but if you don't mind his vocals, then everything could be to your liking.

Rebel Yell Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 I'd check out some Nine Inch Nails, specifically an album called "Still," which you can find on Merch.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gina9 Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 One of the greatest modern pianists and composers is YANNI. You can buy his Best Of collection.And if you are interested in classical music Tchaikovsky and Vivaldi are my favourites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
