Walt Wagner's "Pearls" CD
i'm not as influenced by him as i was, but anyone looking for a nice recording of solo jazz piano standards should check out walt's new standards recording.

the guy used to fill up huge concert halls for solo piano performances. kind of like keith jarret before keith jarrett was doing his thing. walt also was one of the first "new age" guys out there- even before david lanz and that lumberjack who plays "december".
if you want to hear some killer solo stuff, that recording titled simply as "walt wagner" is worth it.
mac arthur park is amazing, classical gas is also amazing... there are a couple others too.
if you're into orchestral american style music (ala copeland and such), walt's recording from a couple years ago called "the miracle" which is a piano concerto recorded with the seattle symphony (gerard schwarz) will blow you away.
