I figured I'd mix it up a bit here and talk about great piano players.

I have to say my 2 favorite are Garth Hudson (of The Band) and Dr.John

I think Diana Krall is a great pianist, as well as jazz singer.

That's a good choice!

And probably off a lot of people's radar, but make time to check out Art Tatum, too. Poetry in motion...

Oh, and I've seen the great Monte Alexander too. Fabulous (especially when he leaves off the reggae inspired stuff...):
