Regardless, mine sucks. Despite my ability to hit any pitch at any time.

The is no productive end result in comparing ANY art in terms of what or who is better or the best. There is always bias and in many cases there is no accounting for taste. Apples and oranges. Sure, you can rate ones technical ability against another. But then the other person may have better MUSICAL chops. One thing you CAN do is say if you PREFER one thing over another, but then one's preferences may change over the years. EX: I hated Miles Bitches Brew when released. I now LOVE it.

i'd go for oscar peterson. he's my guy on the piano. i'm pretty sure he's better than enriquez and monk. oscar peterson playing and lady day singing is an excellent combination.
