As a guest musician, Keith Tippett made a notable impact on the early King Crimson. His unleashed dissonant and intriguingly mismatched piano lines on "Cat Food" from "In the Wake of Poseidon" and on "Bolero: The Peacock's Tale" from "Lizard" are unique contributions to one of the greatest progressive rock bands in its heyday.
Here is a live performance of "Green and Orange Night Park" by The Keith Tippett Group from 1970, which wonderfully captures the moment when the vibe of the Bristol-born pianist's ensemble transcended well beyond traditional jazz borders and entered the territory of progressive jazz and even Canterbury sound.

Tony Gerber is a keyboardist, flute player, and guitarist from Nashville, Tennessee. He has been releasing his spacey solo albums since the late eighties. Not to be confused with the French guitar and synthesiser duo of the same name that is already listed in the PA's progressive electronic section, Tony Gerber is a member of the U.S. synth-quartet Spacecraft. Personally, I believe this Spacecraft also deserves its landing in the PA's progressive electronic section. Their album "The Planet Pluto 2015 Live at the OmegaLab," which came out this year, contains these two long tracks, among others in the same style.

Canadian prog-rock keyboard player, singer-songwriter, composer, and guitarist Rick Miller has been around for many years and has a sizable album discography. He released a fantastic concept album this year with a number of outstanding guest musicians.

Tony Ashton - made one album with Jon Lord, and another as Paice Ashton Lord, as well as being part of Ashton Gardner & Dyke, and briefly as a member of Family.

[edit]
His body of work would probably would be considered more as prog related than prog.

Thanks, that reminded me of Ralph Towner, who is amazing on both piano and acoustic guitar in the band "Oregon!"
