There's probably been around 14 'Best Prog Keyboardist' polls over the years. It's a very curious question to ask indeed. Reducing one's favourite Keyboardist (or Top 5, or Top 10 for that matter) is a rather futile task. Off the top of my head I say : Dave Stewart Mike Ratledge Richard Wright Rick Wakeman Stale Storlokken. This list can change like the wind, but these 5 are whom I am digging lately. |

Top Five? damn you. I'm going to have to think about this a bit.  I almost have to go back to classical for this. Auuugh. OK Wakeman is a particular fave as he was my gateway into prog. Kerry Livgren Kerry Minnear Vangelis Larry Fast ... Patrick Moraz Dave Stewart Brian Eno Harold Budd Tomita Wendy Carlos ... ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

Hi Doug, very welcome suggestions from you. Unfortunately, I've never listened to these great pianists, but I've read about them in the links bellow, and I'm very well surprised to know they collaborated with such a huge reputation Orchestras: Berliner Philharmoniker, London Philharmonic and Vienna Philharmonic. I'm just wondering how it would be great to listen to Wilhelm Backhaus performing at Grieg's piano concert... http://www.allmusic.com/artist/wilhelm-backhaus-mn0000067282 http://www.allmusic.com/artist/walter-gieseking-mn0000659476 Everytime I tisten to something new I get more overwhelmed by a huge and increasing amount of music that I still don't know... ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

TODAY: Claudio Arrau Vladimir Ashkenazy Sviatoslav Richter Keith Emerson Vangelis Papathanassiou And I'd rather extend it to a Top 10 list, adding just 5 of my fave FEMALE piano players (having to put aside a bunch of others equally great): Martha Argerich Anne Fischer Nikita Magalof Hélène Grimauld Maria Joao Pires ------------- "Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy."

For my tastes: Hugh Banton Patrizio Fariselli Dave Stewart/ Keith Tippett Peter Hammill Hammill's a bit of an odd pick, admittedly, but I think as a solo performer with voice his playing is so distinctive and fitting. Also very fond of Dr John's playing. |

No love for Alan Gowan? The Canterbury crowd used to go 'round his house and find sheets of music he'd written but nobody could play....Gowan was a special talent, just not a very social one. Joe Zawinul! Bill Evans....I don't want to include non-fusion jazz guys, but Bill put out some albums where he played wild electric keyboards/Rhodes (Quintessence - a great album). Keith Tippett.....man, that guy could get out there but still keep things hummable. Carla Bley.....not on technique alone, but composition-wise there is no better IMO. ------------- I like to feel the suspense when you're certain you know I am there..... |
