jlhoots Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Peter Beets? Come on. He is one of the most recognized young piano giants of our time. He is praised worldwide, while his creativity keeps increasing...He's really good. I'm not sure he rises to the level of "piano giant" yet.

randyhersom Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Sumi Tonooka. I saw her duet with a female singer in the seventies in Philly on Race Street that was fabulous. I have conjectured since then that the singer might have been Rachelle Ferrell, but have never been able to confirm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford_thornton Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I have never heard of Peter Beets so I will check him out.The point of this thread, I think, is to mention people that some/many of us may never have heard of, and for that I'm grateful. Sure, there are those of us who've been listening to Bobby Few or whomever for many years but hey, someone could always be turned onto his music.

Cyril Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 FWIW i'd never heard of Peter Beets (apologies in advance if people have posted about him here and it hasn't registered... sometimes things go in one eye and out the other). xybert, he's from the Netherlands. Peter (mainly with his trio) is a regular visitor to the US and Japan and also many European countries from Poland to Spain and from Rumania to France. He's a real good pianist.

Larry Kart Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) Joel Weiskopf -- stylistically not quite in my bag (or bags) but definitely a talented guy. Several interesting albums on Criss Cross. I particularly like this one, with John Patitucci and Eric Harland:http://www.amazon.com/Devoted-You-Joel-Weiskopf-Trio/dp/B000NVLABY/ref=sr_1_4?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1442362630&sr=1-4&keywords=joel+weiskopf Edited September 16, 2015 by Larry Kart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 (edited) I would also single out occasional (last I checked) O-board member Frank Kimbrough for more recognition. His latest, on Palmetto, show more of an Andrew Hill influence that previous records I recall under his own name. Either way, a lyrical player whose work possesses an individual tensile quality. NOUMENA (Soul Note) is another favorite. Edited September 16, 2015 by Joe sic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

relyles Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) A week ago I heard pianist Fred Simmons in a duo performance with vibraphonist Jay Hoggard. Simmons' discography is slim - his most notable association seems to be with Dewey Redman. I believe he has been in education for the past many years at Wesleyan in Middletown, CT. Anyway, intimate performance on a Sunday afternoon, which was quite impressive. Too bad we have not heard more from Mr. Simmons over the years.

fasstrack Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Has anyone mentioned Donald Brown? He's also a very accomplished composer. Peter Beets? Come on. He is one of the most recognized young piano giants of our time. He is praised worldwide, while his creativity keeps increasing...He's really good. I'm not sure he rises to the level of "piano giant" yet.He is very good. I played with him in Den Haag. He's a friend. Recorded with Joe Cohn as sideman a few times.

Gheorghe Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 does somebody remember the late Siegfried Kesser, born in Germany, but he lived and worked in Paris. Some might know about him, since he worked frequently with Archie Shepp (and recorded with him ! ) . He could play everything from bop to avantgarde, could play the blues really strong , I heard him live not only with Archie Shepp, also with Jimmy Witherspoon and Dee Dee Bridgewater......, great pianist.

Dan Gould Posted December 4, 2015 Report Share Posted December 4, 2015 I'll second Joel on Schneiderman. Nice mainstream recordings on Reservoir (IIRC) with Brian Lynch and/or Ralph Moore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
