Your Top Six Keyboard Players
I did a search on this topic and nothing turned up, so here I go. If there IS a thread like this already, my apologies.
Inspired by the top 5 guitarists thread, who are your top 6 or favorite keyboardists at the moment? Here are mine in no particular order: 1. Keith Emerson 2. Rick Wakeman 3. Yuja Wang 4. Joey DeFrancesco 5. Eliane Elias 6. Artur Rubinstein |
Only one. Jon Lord.

Edited, and in no particular order
1. Rick Wakeman 2. Vangelis 3. Keith Emerson 4. Hiromi 5. Keith Jarrett 6. Bill Evans |
I think of the keyboardists laying down a strong undercurrent to the recording, rather than strength in soloing.
That said, Reese Wynans (formerly Stevie Ray Vaughan's keyboardist but now doing some solo stuff) and Bill Payne (Little Feat and multiple appearances with other artists) rank high on my list. |

Your Top Six Keyboard Players
When you consider all the great pianists in jazz, classical, New Orleans boogie/funk, blues, rock, etc., I can’t find a way to pair it down to 6.
Keith Jarrett Bill Evans Nicky Hopkins McCoy Tyner Mac Rebennack (Dr. John) Murray Perahia Gregg Allman Pinetop Perkins Alfred Brendel Horace Silver Vladimir Horowitz |
Don’t forget Richard Tee en George Duke .[emoji106]

Good call on Lyle Mays. |
If we can include pianists
Víkingur Ólafsson He must be an alien because his playing is otherworldly. Had the good fortune to see him play live…still getting goosebumps thinking about it. |
