Who are your favorite living piano players?

Ignoring the dead ones, who are your favorite piano players? and what tune?.....I'll get you started I like Harry Connick Jr, he is a great player, and "it had to be you" is sooooooooo cool !, so what's your pick?

P.S......oh and of course the great Andrew Furmanczyk!

Well for composers and piano players Id have to say: Koji Kondo and James Horner

Koji cause of all the Awesome Zelda and genreall nintendo music. That is true art for sure!!!!!!!!!
