sir Corno Dolce :tiphat:
If you enjoy McCoy Tyner in what you call percussion piano, you would probably also enjoy Michel Camilo, latin-jazz-piano inspired music.
What jazz have you been listening to today?

The Italian pianist Enrico Pieranunzi on his trio double album "Live In Japan", by CamJazz Records, recorded in 2004, released in 2007.
The musicians:
Enrico Pieranunzi - piano
Marc Johnson - double bass
Joey Baron - drums
The same trio has recorded the music by Morricone, CamJazz Records 2002.
Enrico Pieranunzi, born in Rome 1949 inspired by the late American GIANT jazz pianist Bill Evans, began his jazz career playing rather romanticly. But he was educated in classical music first at the University of Rome. Then he taught the classical piano to students and then, like the late Michel Petrucciani, it was in jazz he made himself an international name as a brilliant pianist, and later in the 1980´s, he became the main man and prime organizer of the International Pedagogic Jazz Festival in the Italian city Siena.
Enrico and the late Chet Baker (trumpet and vocals) recorded two duo albums, one of them is "The Heart Of The Ballad", recorded with Philology Records 1988, then another duo with Lee Konitz (alto saxophone) on "Solitude", by Philology Records in 1989 and a duo with Phil Woods (alto saxophone) on "Elise", Philology Records 1991.
Most of his recent trio albums have the American jazz musicians Marc Johnson on the double bass and Joey Baron or Paul Motian on drums.

For Mat!!
Talking about Michel Petrucciani. I found this Live-album in Florence "Dreyfus Night In Paris", by Dreyfus Jazz 1994.
There are only three songs on the album, but very long songs:
1. Tutu (by Miles Davis) - 16:36
2. The King Is Gone - 17:19
3. Looking Up - 16:32
Here´s an international cast of top notch jazz musicians:
Michel Petrucciani - piano
Bireli Lagrene - guitars
Kenny Garrett - alto and soprano saxophone
Marcus Miller - el. bass and bass clarinet
Lenny White - drums
These guys realy know how to make it "rock", so to speak.

"Michel Plays Petrucciani", 1988.
"Playground", 1991.
"Marvelous", 1994.

Besides those already mentioned MP has recorded 3 or 4 more solo piano albums. At least two of them live, but I only have "Promenade With Duke".

Figures!! And then you enjoy Eliane Elias as well. Me too.
I have "Brazilian Classics" 16 Brazilian songs by various artists, Eliane Elias: Capitol Records 1997. Remastered by Blue Note Records 2003.
She is an awesome pianist, but can certainly sing as well. Some of her best piano work though, I believe was with either Marc Johnson and the former American jazz group Steps Ahead.

Cæcilie Norby, the best Danish female jazz vocalist IMHO on her album "Cæcilie Norby", by EMI Medley DK./Blue Note Records 1995.
Her husband the double bass and el. bass player, cellist and keyboardian Lars Danielsson as usual has produced the album, but for once does not participate on any instruments.
The musicians:
CN - vocals
Niels Lan Doky and Lars Jansson - piano
Ben Basiakov - Hammond B3 organ
Jacob Fischer - guitars
Ray Margitza and Sonny Robinson - tenor and soprano saxophones
Randy Brecker - trumpet and flugelhorn
Lennart Ginman - double bass
Billy Hart - drums
Jakob Andersen - percussion
Mostly top notch Danish jazz musicians, Lars Jansson from Sweden and Margitza, Robinson. Brecker and Hart are Americans.
The jazz voice of Cæcilie Norby reminds me a great deal of the voice of the American female Cassandra Wilson, who I attended the concert with during the Copenhagen Jazz Festival in July 2008.

The Danish Radio Big Band, famous throughout Europe and in America, on the album "A Little Bit Of Duke", recorded and released by Dacapo Records 1995.
When the US musicians Carla Bley (conductor, and playing piano and organ) and Steve Swallow (el. bass) were to record a new album a couple of years ago, they asked specificly for the Danish Radio Big Band to play with them in Denmark, because as Carla Bley later said in an interview as to why she and Steve chose this particular band? Carla Bley answered very short: "Why? The Danish Radio Big Band is the best Big Band, we know.", which should be a guarantee for the highly quallified musicians.
So here´s The Danish Radio Big Band alone, but the band is identical to the band playing with Bley and Swallow, except Ole Kock Hansen is the conductor. OKH personal friend since childhood and fellow musician (piano) to the late Danish GIANT on the double bass, NHØP, who had a long career with this Big Band himself, while Palle Mikkelborg (trumpet and flugelhorn) was the conductor back in the 1970-80´s.
The musicians:
Nicolaj Bentzon - piano
Anders "Chico" Lindvall - guitars
Jesper Thilo - soloist on the tenor saxophone
Thomas Ovesen - double bass
Jonas Johansen - drums and the band leader
Ethan Weisgard - American immigrant playing percussion
and then 4 saxophones, 4 trombones, 4 trumpets, 2 flugelhorns, 2 flutes, 2 clarinets.
Of course the music composed by the legend in jazz Duke Ellington is awesome on this album with songs like Cotton Tail, Bojangles, Come Sunday, Rockin´ in Rhytm, Blue Light, The Mooche and the title song A Little Bit Of Duke etc. etc.

Back at my favourite of all jazz musicians, the American phenomena Keith Jarrett on his first ECM production, the solo piano album (not improvised), recorded in the studio in Munich, Germany (rare for Keith, though) "Facing You", by the ECM Records 1972.
I catch myself, every time I listen to this AWESOME debut on the solo piano by Keith thinking how extremely well, he played the piano even then 36 years ago.
Opening song "In Front" playing a lot on the low register in a speedy tempo. But on songs like "Lalene" - "My Lady; My Lady", one can hear bits and short pieces of playing, you´ll find on later albums for the Scandinavian Quartet. Funny eh?
My all time favourite song on this debut album by Keith is the last song "Semblence". Rare I get tears in my eyes listening to jazz, but they come every time I listen to this song.

Abdullah Ibrahim - piano
Robin Eubanks - trombone
