sidewinder Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Hilton Ruiz! Totally agree - especially in combination with Billy Higgins. Too bad that he left us so young.. Quote
jlhoots Posted July 21, 2015 Report Posted July 21, 2015 Lots of people listed - so how about Gonzalo Rubalcaba.Looking forward to the upcoming release with Charlie Haden. Quote
Peter Friedman Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 I don't believe Betha Hope has been mentioned.She has a few very good CDs out, but I never hear anything about her. Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 not everyone has been mentioned yet, get going folks. Quote
Clunky Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Ok, my shot at mentioning someone who has something special to say on the ivories and isn't properly recognised by the jazz cognisant amongst us. Franco D'Andrea - brilliantly fluent Italian , touches of Monk but his own thing. Amazing discography in all manner of settings. Quote

JSngry Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Nice to see Don Abney on that list, there's a guy you never hear about. Quote
ghost of miles Posted July 22, 2015 Report Posted July 22, 2015 Anybody mention Mickey Tucker yet? And I'll second Joe on Hod O'Brien. Quote
Hardbopjazz Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Posted July 23, 2015 Mickey Tucker. How can we forget him? I believe he lives in Australia today. I wonder if anyone knows if he still plays. Quote

How can we forget him? I believe he lives in Australia today. I wonder if anyone knows if he still plays.Mickey Tucker is one interesting dude. Not quite Byard- of Burrell-esque in his ability to move between older and modern piano approaches, but a player with ears bigger than hard bop. Cf. "Cecilitis", from his his Muse LP MISTER MYSTERIOUS. Quote

I well remember him coming out with that one - and the hushed sound of awe and amazement around the club before the 'Mr Piano' bit was mentioned Quote
TedR Posted July 23, 2015 Report Posted July 23, 2015 Carol Britto. I only have one recording of hers (with Flip Philps) but it's a beauty. Quote

Did some marvellous work in Zoot Sims groups in the mid-fifties. Did I read somewhere that he quit music soon after?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSR3nSnJ0q4 Quote
