I typed in Beautiful, because I'm not looking for technicality at all; just beauty, melodic.

With or without a band, doesn't matter.. Just depends on the mood, but if I'm listening to Bill Evans, I just want the piano :)

Underrated Jethro Tull keyboardist John Evan quoting Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and Debussy, among some blues and jazz, in "By Kind Permission Of":


...a vigorous circular motion hitherto unknown to the people of this area, but destined
to take the place of the mud shark in your mythology...

The first thing related to prog that came to mind was the beautiful piano in Take A Pebble...ELP....but perhaps that's far too famous for your tastes.

Kotebel - Concerto for Piano & Ensemble is the first thing that came to mind

This whole album..actually there are 2...are amazing I Talk To The Wind by the Crimson Jazz Trio...the piano is superb.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B5CLIOs3HU

The interpretations are outstanding as is the piano, drums, and bass.
I never tire of listening to these two albums. Prog and acoustic jazz with Crimson material as the foundation.....imho it doesn't get any better than this if you like KC and jazz.

Ex Can-keyboarder Irmin Schmidt has some cool piano music (not on progarchives for unknown reasons).

Check out the beautiful pianism of Luciano Basso throughout this album:



For a bonus, it also contains my favourite harpsichord break in prog.

great one Doc.. but not the first two I thought of...


the epitome to me of beautiful piano prog Mort...  Schooldays by Gentle Giant...  so beautiful... Gentle Giant spent the rest of the 70's forgetting just how beautiful music could be and being souless and cold

2nd choice..  Kobaia by Magma.. that piano solo touches my nether regions like few others.

Fugue - ELP gets me every time! I'll try to think of a less obvious one though - often you find them in the middle of epic songs and really bring something to the track. Off the top of my head, the short piano run in Spock's Beard's The Doorway is lovely, but there must be hundreds out there.
