Horace only had the use of part of his R hand after polio. Didn't stop him being one of the great pianists in jazz.
Follow Ups:
Another one handed pianist, Ed Frank is mostly know, if he is known at all, for his work on classic New Orleans r'and b' sides cut in the 50's and 60's, but if you asked him he would identify himself with "modern" jazz. Like many of his peers who stayed in New Orleans (Walter Payton, Fred Kemp, Red Tyler, etc.) Frank found work playing in the studio with r'and b' artists and later work with "trad" and hotel gigs, but his heart with bebop.
of course you can add Les Paul to the list of greats overcoming disabilities after his right arm was mangled in a car accident
clearly the discipline required to overcome them drove their success
