Jammie Cullum is fantastic and inovative!

There is quite a number of key artists in jazz, that are almost mandory to listen to (for those in love with jazz, of course) for what they've done for the jazz music. My personal favorite jazz musician is the pianist Tommy Flanagan. I have every CD he recorded, and I was very lucky to listen to him live in Paris, in an intimate concert in a hotel bassment during the 90's, when his health appeared to be in decline.
There are two not-very-known jazz pianists, that I love very much: Lynne Arriale (http://www.lynnearriale.com/) and Eliane Elias (http://www.elianeelias.com/). The later is a brasilian pianist and singer established in the USA. Another one I really like is Denny Zeitlin (http://www.dennyzeitlin.com/), a psychiatrist with a serious path in jazz.
