Chick Corea
Does not adhere to strict boundaries in his compositions, encompassing jazz, fusion and rock, and mastering all with a style all his own.
Bill Evans
The quintessential straight ahead jazz pianist, with emphasis on touch and harmony, not simply great technique.
Pat Metheny
Like Corea, can play in a pure jazz or contemporary setting. Defined jazz fusion in the 80's.
Keith Jarrett
Tremendous technique as well as emotion in his playing.
