Joshua Rich
I found this page while surfing through piano-related items on Google. Joshua Rich, originally from Boston, and self-taught (when you listen you won't believe that) has a lot of very nice recordings on the site and, luckily, you can sample them. In fact, I'm listening to one of the samples right now. I hope he doesn't mind, but I "borrowed" one of the review blurbs on his site so you could read it here...
"five stars!!! * * * * * absolutely brilliant. joshua rich makes the piano breathe, talk, and get a pulse. he's a wickedly funny genius who makes the whole thing look so easy.......lyrically, he gets back to the subtle expertise of Billy Joel...then, lays down some funky grooves that would make Randy Newman drool. it's a happening type of sound with a retro edge. definitely prime."
I highly recommend that you take a look - I have a feeling you'll like what you hear! Click here. - while I go practice - darn he's good!
