Horowitz wasn't trained in improvisation, I heard that he admired very much Art Tatum and said he'd be a danger just if he decided to change to the field of classical piano. A jazz musician can improvise the way a classical musician normally can't, but I don't think Art Tatum was able to play long complex, nuanced piano concertos without a proper training. It's not everything technique and harmonic knowledge in music

Oscar is 1 of the greatest jazz pianists in history & my personal favorite. But Tatum was the only pianist who could "intimidate" Oscar. In his own words: "Tatum scared me to death" and Peterson was "never cocky again" about his mastery at the piano. Tatum was a model for Peterson's musicianship during the 1940s and 1950s. Tatum and Peterson eventually became good friends, although Peterson was always shy about being compared with Tatum and rarely played the piano in Tatum's presence.

@roos08824 It's really objective because each could do things the other couldn't. Peterson had a much wider tempo and dynamic range and definitely swung harder than just about any other jazz pianist. Peterson also could get any sonority he wanted out of the piano just as the best concert pianists could. I think it's undeniable that Peterson had nowhere near Art Tatum's harmonic sense. Basically Peterson's interest was the piano while Tatums was the music.

They not only take me to amazing heights like all these musicians do; but they touch me in a more existencial, contemplative way. You feel you've transcended, you feel you're right there where everyone wants to go but most can't. Other beautiful, amazing pianists: Hank Jones, Kenny Barron, Earl Hines, Teddy Wilson. Erroll Garner also, oh God.. so many... I feel almost guilty for having so much pleasure out of these minds, while most of the world simply can't understand this. Big mystery.

I know that because I didn't get any of those musicians right away, it didn't make sense to me for months, untill I learned to hear that language. Everyone have their favorites, because it connects to them in a speacial way, but everyone should be able to truly appreciate Bill Evans. Just as everyone should be able to appreciate Renoir the painter. It's not a matter of taste in my opinion, it IS beautiful and amazing despite of the which are the “eyes of the beholder”.
