That list is HOT

Herbie , Oscar, Bill, Art, Jeff, Cedric & Thomas had to be there!!

If you can, check out a Herbie Hancock album called "The Piano"

No words.  Just piano solos.  HOT.

And Jeff Lorber is a beast!  Pick up "Flipside" and "He had a Hat".

I forgot to mention;
Ramsey Lewis
Greg Phillinganes
Thelonious Monk

Not to change the subject, but who was the keyboard player on Marvin Sapp's You Alone are God???

That is one of my favorite songs and keyboardist just because of the runs he does are so smooth and clean.
