The Answer:
There have been lot of really great jazz pianists. Number one on this list Charles Waring of Udiscovermusic is Art Tatum. Next is Thelonious Monk followed by the troubled Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Oscar Pederson, McCoy Tyner, Bud Powell, Keith Jarrett, Chick Corea and at 10 one of my personal favorites Ahmad Jamal. Duke Ellington and Fats Waller are 11 and 12. They are followed by Count Basie, Earl Fatha Hines and Jellie Roll Morton. The great Dave Brubeck (To me) is 16. I have lots of 33 RPM albums of #17 Errol Garner. I have a nice Horace Silver (2O) Album too. Number 21 is Teddy Wilson who was great with Benny Goodman quartets. And we used to go to NYC on dates to see #23 George Shearing.
