Well, I'm just gonna tell you everyone that I listen to.
McCoy Tyner (definitely my favorite piano player) Roy Hargrove (and his RH Factor shit is tight as hell) Joshue Redman (his elastic band stuff is tight as hell also) Art Blakey Cedar Walton (another piano player) Chris Potter Dave Holland Eric Alexander Herbie Hancock Jaco Jeff Tain Watts Kenny Garrett Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra GRP All-Stars Dizzy Gillespie Dizzy Gillespie All-Star Band Medeski, Martin, Wood Ornette Coleman Coleman Hawkins Cannonball Adderly Pat Metheny Group Sun Ra Monk Wynton Marsalis Branford Marsalis Lee Morgan Miles Davis and Coltrane obviously Clifford Brown Freddie Hubbard Nicholas Peyton Clark Terry Kenny Dorham Terrence Blanchard James Carter
There's a good little list for you to go with. You could branch out from there depending on what (if anything) you like.

^^^ pretty much what he said.
for piano stuff, he mentioned mccoy tyner. obviously, great first choice. herbie hancock was also mention, but you must be reminded to check out his early works such as "dimensions" and "my point of view" for piano works.
however, with such an extensive list, i couldn't believe you forget:
the great Ahmad Jamal (miles davis WORSHIPPED this guy - check out his album "awakenings". proballly EXACTLY what you're looking for)
thelonius monk horace silver bill evans red garland
he was asking for piano specifics. i know you were namin off just what you listened to, but im suprised you didn't list these cats.

I can't believe nobody said Weather Report; they're a fusion jazz band that had some really great musicians including Jaco Pastorius on Bass, Joe Zawinul (Synth/Keys), and Wayne Shorter (Sax). I highly recommend checking out the album Black Market; Gibraltar and River People are my favorite tracks.

I said Jaco, I figured that would just include any of Jaco's works.
I'd also like to add Bela Fleck and the Flecktones to the list along with Michael Brecker ( )

Why does everyone always forget about TETE MONTOLIU. He's up there with Bill Evans and Thelonius but so so ignored. Best blind pianist there ever was

I just picked up a Jason Marsalis CD last night, it's interesting. I'm only on the third track, but I'd say it's worth checking out.
