So i want some GREAT piano-driven jazz...

Anything by McCoy Tyner. Try "Illuminations" or "Sahara".

Hey BinFrog,

I just picked up "Illuminations" today and is this ever good. Two things surprised me:

First - That it was recorded just last year and....

Second - His playing style hasn't changed much over the years.

I compared this recording to 1967's "The Real McCoy" and the similarities in style are amazing.

Thanks for the recommendation BinFrog.

Oh, one minor thing. While I enjoy Telarc recordings they can be on the quiet side. A little increase in volume was required.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have it on SACD (as well as the reunion one mentioned above) and the sound quality is on par with the best I've heard.
