Oh yes, I know... But (and I'm serious here) when I was listening to an album the other day, I realized that something that I really like that he brings out in his playing style is the way he uses rhythm. Something about the rhythms in his playing just really hooks me in particular, more than other pianists. I'm not sure exactly how to explain what I mean, but I guess piano is technically a percussion instrument anyway.
