#BringBackFatFactMan

michaelshowgenio Every time I look at my original post, I think it says "BringBackFatMan". Oh well, either way my point stands.

Sergio Ríos Campos 😂

Awowkwok

Of course because he came with the wrong guitar. The Fender Strat was not invented until 1954 and due to it's sound has no place in straight ahead or classic jazz. I'm not anti-Strat, I own two of them but I would never use one in a truly jazz context.

Frank Frank : A Tele? Yes! A Strat? No way!

he had a stroke

Ikr

Gol Den strike

He needed a sick day

wastagwaga Same here dudes a freaking genius. my favorite right now

and jacob collier!!!

Kinda disappointing that those are the first names you all come up with to be honest.... Cory Henry and Jacob Collier are quite skilled in their own right but there are so many other modern pianists who are 100x the players/musicians they are and don't get that kind of recognition. Cats like Aaron Parks, Taylor Eigsti, Sullivan Fortner, Tigran Hamasyan and so many more play circles around those guys. It's not even close.

Zayphe I wouldn't say they could "play circles" around cory henry... you should study what hes doing with jazz improv and rhythm in songs like gotcha now and lingus and also his mastery of the organ and gospel styles. to add to your list, robert glasper and kamasi washington

21 21, you're certainly entitled to your own opinion, but I wholeheartedly believe that the players I mentioned are in a separate league altogether. Also, the fact that you seriously mentioned Kamasi Washington as someone who even comes close to hanging with those guys is completely ridiculous. Kamasi Washington doesn't know how to play jazz, plain and simple. He does his own thing and writes some cool shit, but as far as a jazz saxophonist goes he is extremely limited in many ways...technically, rhythmically and harmonically. Robert Glasper on the other hand can definitely play his ass off.

TheRealAntBell and they have it now. My spotify playlist got more cultured. Thx

He is an immensely talented pianist. He puts the feeling into it.

and Aziza Mustafa :D

and Tigran Hamasyan

Probably couldn't emulate his style

His style of playing was very clean and bouncy, but while being an amazing musician he hardly wrote his own music or brought nuance to the instrument IMO. He had a genius for taking existing styles like stride and whatnot and emulating them to the best of their ability however. While Peterson is a great pianist, I wouldn't call him an innovator in the same sense as Herbie Hancock or Bill Evans.

@@frederikmarohn6358 They included some just for their virtuosity though. Even though he wasn't an innovator he was still incredible and definitely worth mentioning.

+Sandow Sinai And George Gershwin

Does he have at least one?

Zen L the old one did

Could say he sold it for his talent.... soulless soulless talent

still gave me a wood

Fact man needs some SHOES! Or, you know, toes.

Lost a bit of weight, too.

yeah he's not looking as fact as he used to.

+SnappyK9 He's gotten quite a bit taller too…

If you're really interested in Jazz history, check out the Ken Burns documentary series "Jazz". Amazing!

art tatum

The piano man is VERY talented

moviemagic yeaaaah, I can't believe there is no Jobim in the video :(

History of Jazz Piano in U.S. , they forgot the rest of the world.

Ahhh It seems I don't like the US. @@marcelteclas

@@marcelteclas yeah, but latin jazz was partly invented in us, isn't it?

@@noone-jw4gm Not bossa nova. I don't know about the other styles, though

Lucas Walters Fully agree! The god himself!

Nothing against Oscar but to say the greatest piano player ever - some competition. Art Tatum- not to mention guys like Beethoven- Listen to the Arietta 2nd movement of his last piano Sonata Opus 111. from 1822- he was already getting funky.

How on earth can any pianist casually skip over OSCAR PETERSON??! ...and include some contemporary non-entities instead?! Baffling.
