That is a very good call - Bellamy is a great pianist; small example: Edited by Jim Garten - July 03 2012 at 11:30 |

My pleasure. I would have mentioned Hugo Sheppard, their original keyboardist, but he seems to have moved out of rock all together and into ambient these days. |

Michael Pinnella of Symphony X (Juilliard grad, like Jordan Rudess). But, you would never know it from the Iconoclast album - he was so underused on that...

Yes! Erik's awesome. He could just hold notes with that great analog gear he uses, and I'd listen.
Michael's solo instrumental album was very nice and not what I expected from a guy who plays in Symphony X.

If I count neo-prog, it is definitely: - Mark Robertson of Cairo, too bad they haven't released album for some 10 years now.- Chris Buzby of Echolyn. ... and of course also Neal Morse, Clive Nolan, Andy Tillison, Kevin Moore... but hey they are all already legends:) I came to conclusion there are no keyboardists which deserve mention beginning 2004 and onwards. I would like to find someone charismatic, original and skilled as previously mentioned, but can't recall anybody now. Bands like Haken bore me to death and so their keyboardist.

I agree that
Mark Robertson and Cairo was great (their Conflict And Dreams is excellent). But it would clearly be wrong to call him a "rising" star due to, as you already pointed out, they haven't released anything in a long time and are not likely to ever release anything again. Sadly. As I wrote earlier in this thread, Erik Norlander is a fantastic player and composer at the height of his career right now. He is in several ways a similar player to Robertson. Both heavily inspired by Keith Emerson. |

One name I'm surprised no one has mentioned yet, including myself, is Michael Lapaj of Riverside, his work on ADHD in particular was brilliant and really fits the virtuoso spot without being over the top like Rudess.

Andreas "Kyrt" Söderin from Seventh Wonder, I like a lot his keyboard solos in the song Paradise and Break The Silence from their album Mercy Falls.

He IS pretty good - it's hard to notice him sometimes though with the incredible guitar work of Johan Liefvendahl, the basswork of Andreas Blomqvist, and the silky smooth voice of Tommy Karevik. ![]() |

The trouble is, they're all a bit anodyne, albeit sometimes technically good. Where oh where is the wild side of life, with the greats like Emerson, Wakeman, and the original leader of them all, Ritchie. These present guys make Jon Lord and Tony Banks sound like rebels.

Eric Norelander, anything he does as himself, Rocket Scientists, Lana Lane.
The only issue I have with their dvds is they seem to think giving a verbal discription between songs is beneficial.
Do it after the music

I like the guy Kerry Shacklett out of Presto Ballet. I do believe they found him via the internet:

This may be a controversial pick, but...
Jem Godfrey of Frost*. Milliontowon, Dear Dead Days from E.I.M.A., and he's on tour with G3 right now. Apparently, he seems to rub some prog fans the wrong, but I dig him a whole bunch. |

Flashy complex keyboard solos are a thing of the past outside of metal and neo-prog, and for good reason

Shacklett is really good, I prefered older PB keyboardist though - Brian Cokeley. I also recalled two outstanding Swedish keyboard players besides Lalle Larson. Jon Gamble of Ritual and Carl Westholm of Carptree. Worth checking out. |

Nobody has mentioned yet the former Artension's keyboardist Vitalij Kuprij (btw I suggested him two years ago and I think he was rejected by PMT)

I stand with Roger Waters, I stand with Joan Baez, I stand with Victor Jara, I stand with Woody Guthrie. Music is revolution
