Regardless of genre...
Who is your pick?
Hmmmm
Art Tatum, Thelonious Monk
Arthur Rubenstein, Beethoven, Mozart
Floyd Cramer
all different but all great.

Have you seen Behind the Candelabra? Fascinating movie.
As far as the OT, I try to avoid using relative terms like greatest and best when it comes to arts. It's much easier on me that way. All those Jim listed are great, as are Hank Jones, Red Garland, Bill Evans, Van Cliburn, Vladmir Horowitz, and you might include Billy Payne, Elton John, Dr. John, Otis Spann...

I have not seen that movie. My Mother loved Liberace, so I was exposed to his piano playing at a very young age. I thought he got a little to extravagant in his appearance in later years, but he was still a good showman and piano player. I love to hear boogie woogie piano and there are several players that are really good at it.

At the risk of no piano players here ever talking to me again, I'm going to throw my hat in the ring & nominate Fess...

ALL TIMe is hard because I'll listen to Mozart to Marcia Ball, but if I had to pick
The all around BEST was MOZART but for what most of us listen to hands down PINE TOP PERKINS !!! BUt Jerry Lee was no slouch nor Little Richard, or Fats, or even currently Marcia Ball, Alicia Keys, Stevie Wonder, even some may say Billy Joel, Elton John....
There,s NO BEST of as each was a master in there style , IMO
This is a thought one cause r u we including guys like Ian Mac of Faces n Humble Pie, no all the band like ELP, DEEP PURPLE, THE DOORS???
I dont think there is any ALL time great but by genre u can pick a fav ..... j
HEY PETE ...VERY COOL LONGSHOT N A GREAT CHOICE !!!!! I like thinking OUT OF THE BOX,, that,ll get ya noticed,
BTW How's it treating ya Pete?
