Every time i listen to this improvisation i know i am not going to hear anyone as skilled as that sit down at a piano and play their hearts out like that again!!! It is a masterpiece and when all three play near the end......IT IS JUST FANTASTIC |

.... probably because it is Mrs Roy Wood's (nae Haslam) voice. [/QUOTE] Well I never knew that! I can't recall them ever having worked together, does anyone know if they have? |

Its true though, can anyone imagine seeing someone from a recently formed group sitting down at a grand piano and burning the keys like that? It was an absolutly fantastic piece of piano playing from the best Pianist in the world IMO.....EMERSON ROCKS!! and when is the next time that we will see a rock artist produce a full concerto....well done guys (Palmer & Emerson) |

Martin Orfords 'Classical Music and Popular Songs' is also worth a mention.Despite the dodgy title it does contain some very nice piano work including the brilliant 'Tatras'

I could be setting myself up here, as I know nothing about him, but I have an album by Andre Gagnon called "Imagination", which has some really good piano. It's not prog as such, but it is slightly symphonic. It's also very well played. The track "flashback" is excellent. |

fairly certain that the piano at the end of "Wots..uh the deal" by pink floyd on the CD "Obscured by the Clouds" is really good |

Yes - Fragile
Especially the middle section of South Side of the Sky before they turn into Crosby, Stills & Nash. GORGEOUS! |

Hi there! I'm looking for piano dominated prog-rock, so I'm glad I found here some tips Thanks! I think I check Strawbs and Kayak first. Lately I met German prog-band Wallenstein. Piano is practically the main instrument on first four albums and that music is just beautiful! And to the best of my belief, Gary Brooker from Procol Harum plays the piano quite often I recommend these bands. |

PATRICK MORAZ' solo album "The Story Of i" has some excellent piano. The track 'Intermezzo', with two female singers singing in French and English simultaneously over piano, gives me the shivers. http://www.progarchives.com/Progressive_rock_discography_CD. asp?cd_id=6828

I received that CD as a christmas present. I like it a lot. Close to home I have always loved. Wish he played that more rather than Cerole Dance(although i like that too) back in the 90's tours. He played both on the Black Moon tour. Edited by Garion81 |

Then there are the two Moraz+Bruford albums, Music For Piano And Drums and Flags (where Patrick adds some synth flavorings). Needless to say, tons of acoustic piano on those! |

Maybe some of you will not consider it as prog, but
Jean luc Ponty/Aurora(1976) features some beautiful piano moments... |
