Been on a piano kick for a few years now and if there is anyone out there as good as this guy please advise me. Makes it look so effortless.

Oscar and Joe Pass is great stuff. Been listening to a little Bill Evans lately my self, "Everybody Digs Bill Evans" and "Conversations with myself". Probably get some more today.

I am finding some very good Jazz and Blues on eMusic. Tons of blues, a little more looking around requied for Jazz. Lots of Monk is what got me to sign up. Been using it since Dec and there is still a big pile in my saved bin that I have yet to download, even at 75 tracks per month.

Two live recordings of the Bill Evans Trio that find them at THE TOP of their game:
Waltz for Debby
Sunday at the Village Vanguard

I'll second the Sunday at the Village Vanguard

Here is where I find some great Jazz. I get their catalog every few months.
