Re: good pianists
kid cue - fellow piano fiend, eh?

for classical music I like

Glenn Gould (for bach) - his genius doesn't hijack the music like other pianists, but actually manages to bring the music out. (good call kid cue)
Emanual Ax (for beethoven, chopin)
Murray Perahia (chopin)
Maurizio Pollini (chopin)
Vladimir Ashkenazy (for mozart and chopin)

for jazz I love

marcus roberts
keith jarrett (is the best jazz improv pianist in the world just listen to the koln concert to know)
vince guaraldi (of peanuts fame)
