Johnny Guarnieri (Piano) - I've been meaning to try him for some time. Verdict ? - good but not as good as Hank Jones, Dave Brubeck or Monk.

I've discovered Bill Evans (no, not the pianist) recently. He plays jazz with a bit of fusion. Very interesting music. That, and the fact that he often switches from tenor to soprano. So, that's another decent sopranist in my book. Most of sopranists I know tend to go into avant garde/free jazz. So glad Bill chose more mainstream way. Teddy, you might wanna check him out.

Thanks Mat. Just had a quick listen and read up on Youtube. Playing a very laid back piece which I really enjoyed, although it did not seem to have a title. Certainly worth investing some more time on this man.
