Art Tatum
Fats Waller
Teddy Wilson
Mary Lou Williams
Oscar Peterson
Bud Powell
Hank Jones
Bill Evans
Nat Cole
Nina Simone
Willie The Lion Smith
Dick Hyman
Dave Brubeck
Count Basie
Ray Bryant
Cyrus Chessnut
John Lewis
I could think of even more.

No Monk?
I probably think of Monk as a composer first and I do love his music. By the way North Coast Brewing Co. has honored him with a Belgian style ale called Brother Thelonious. I bought it mainly for the bottle with Monk's picture on it. I figured if the ale was no good at least I'll have a decoration for my stereo room. It turns out it is worthy of the master and it is almost weening me off of stout.
By the way I just thought of an other SF Bay area pianist who needs to be on the list. Tammy Hall
A couple of years ago I heard her live accompanying Kim Nalley. A few months back she was at KCSM's Jazz On The Hill accompaning Barbara Dane. In addition to being a great pianist, she is a monster B3 player.
