What genre/artists should I look to to find Piano Jazz?

You know what I mean, the kind of jazz they play in bars and restaurants. The piano part is the most important. Does anyone know good artists, or a subgenre of jazz that's mostly calm and piano-y?|||I would add the following to Piano Jazz Man's list:





Alice Coltrane


Duke Ellington


Gene Harris


Harry Connick, Jr.


Kenny Barron


Erroll Garner


Ray Charles


Art Tatum


Diana Krall


Eliane Elias


Monty Alexander


Count Basie


Nat "King" Cole|||I don't listen to jazz music so I can't give you any artists, but you could try searching for "Piano Jazz" at www.pandora.com. It is an internet radio site that will play the artists, songs, or genre's that you search for. It will then compile many different songs and you can choose a 'thumbs down' if you don't like the song and it will skip it, or you can choose a 'thumbs up' and it will remember that you like it. Basically its a wonderful site that can choose many different songs that either sound like the artist you search for or songs in the same genre.|||bill evans
