What's going on, Who is one of the best pianist or keyboardist in your opinion between gospel and jazz music.

It's hard to say because everybody has there own style. In gospel music John Peters and Derrik Jackson are two of the most versatile keyboardist out there. I'm personally lovin' yah boy Parris Bowens from soundcheck right now. His style is crazzzzy! And producer/keyboardist James Poyser, who has worked with artist such as D'Angelo, Common, Bilal, and more, is nice too. They both kind of have a smooth Neo Soul feel.

For me it is...
* J P Kee (good on both keyboards and organ)
* Ray Charlest (The father of almost every kind music.)
* James Cleveland (I sometimes copy his style, especially when playin hymns.)
* Floyd Crammer (Great country pianoist, who has that down home feelin to his style that I like.)
* Nat King Cole (Smoothest piano player ever.)
* Oscar Peterson (What Can I say about him... he is one of the greatest.)
* David Brubeck(One of the greatest jazz arrangers/composers.)
*Professor Longhair (Great blues pianoist who pioneered the New Orleans blues sound.)
* Count Basie (In my opinion, one of the best jazz piano soloist.)

Joe Wilson is my favorite for many reasons. First of all he his versatile, meaning he can play all keyboard like instruments (oragn, rhodes, piano, and synthesizer). His style is sick and he has played for SOOOOOOOOOOOO many people, from Hezikiah Walker to Natalie Wilson to Beyonce. He is the real deal.
