I guess mine right now would have to be a Canadian going by the name of CaliKokat. This guy seems to be posting videos nearly every day, think he's up to almost 500 by now.

well this thread is taking off like wildfire...i also saw a couple of liberace videos on youtube though that were pretty cool; on one he does a samba, tico tico and on another explains how when he was growing up the big thing was the boogie woogie and then plays one. For some reason liberace always reminded me of bugs bunny.

I really like Darius Goodwin. He has a couple of Dave Grusin arrangements that are just fantastic. Makin' Whoopie - from the movie "The Fabulous Baker Boys" (a really great movie by the way, with a great jazz soundtrack of original music and covers by Dave Grusin). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhMiM5FHXVEawesome bluesy version of this song. Mitch and Abby - from the movie "The Firm". Again a great movie, with a great jazz soundtrack of original music written by Dave Grusin. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5DY7tmhC_Ejust beautiful. this song just melts me. pk1000

Calbee219, for sure. He started playing at 16, same as me, and he does Final Fantasy music, too, which I also enjoy playing. =D
He's an inspiration, in that it doesn't matter how old you are when you start.

This thread has gotten me to discover youtube. My favorite is one that I was reminded of by chance. Try Time0207. Its Fabrizio Caligaris who I heard (every night)on The Norwegian Dawn (cruise)in February. Why is he my favorite? His style sounded so much like the way my uncle played that it got me back interested in playing the piano again. So I have a lot of catching up to do after a 35 year absense.
Two other things-
If it wouldn't be Frabrizio, I'd agree with Andy007 and say Stuart Jones and Martin Rowberry (sniper22b). They are especially worth a listen to hear the difference between Stuart's funk and boggie contrasted with the relaxation (is that the right term) music that he has recorded.
Wonder about where "knightplayer" came from? I'm one of the folks that has an Alfred Knight piano. When I searched the site, all I could find is that most that posted thought they were over rated or flat out didn't like them. Mine is from 1961 and I love it.

http://www.youtube.com/user/vkgoeswildClassically trained, since 4 years old. (There's a video of her playing a Grieg Lyric piece at age 9 that is to die for.) As an adult she had Lazar Berman for a teacher. Now composes covers for heavy metal music. She's wonderful and full of passion.

Michel Petrucciani was amazing, tremendous feeling at 1:37 and then the amazing long poly-rythmic stretch starting at 2:01 (he died of a genetic disease at age 37) :
... at 3:70

Love Michel Petrucciani. What a lyrical player. That part where he's playing eight note runs in the right hand over triplet comping in the left! Never heard anyone quite do that.
