| Oscar Peterson wrote and played some killer blues. But pretty much anybody black will do just fine! | |

| Jimmy Yancey - "At the Window" simple but beautiful. OP: Nighttrain - the album is drenched in the blues. Otis Spann (played with Muddy Waters and other Chess Cats). | |

| Yeah man! Night Train is my favorite OP album. Also the stuff from Oscar Peterson: Note For Note, which is his transcription book w/ CD, is half-devoted to the blues and has some GOOD stuff. | |

| Some great piano on T-Bone and BB King recordings. The blues singer (in my book) is Billie Holiday. + She has turned me onto standards that I previously didn't like eg As Time Goes By. | |

| Check out Gene Harris -- he's a blues play with jazz leanings. | |

| T Bone Walker is great. I learned a lot of phrasing from him. His style is kind of a bridge between Blues and Jazz. He learned a lot of his licks listening to Lester Young playing for Billie Holiday. Check out the book; Stormy Monday ( the T Bone Walker Story.) You can learn a lot from guitar and horn players | |

| Hi Sniper, I recommend the following (jazz) pianists - Gene Harris, Oscar Peterson, Bobby Timmons, Ray Bryant, Hampton Hawes, Red Garland, Wynton Kelly, Phineas Newborn Jr., Ramsey Lewis, Ray Charles, Horace Silver, Count Basie, Jay McShann, Junior Mance, Pete Johnson... And then there's the more New Orleans strand of Professor Longhair, James Booker, Henry Butler, Dr John... For more information on all types of blues piano, see my book 'Improvising Blues Piano', currently at the top of Scot's review page on this website. | |
