Re: Solo piano faves
Paul Bley recorded many great solo sessions. Still my favorite. Few selections:
Don't want to load the page down with images...but also his relatively recent Nothing To Declare (2004), Changing Hands (1990), and Basics (2000).
I can listen to solo Monk all day, from any year.

Re: Solo piano faves
Funnily enough, solo piano is not really a favorite listening scenario of mine. Of course there are many recordings that are fantastic, but I find it's not something I spontaneously want to put on very often.
One of my favorite solo piano recordings is "Jimmy Rowles Plays Ellington and Strayhorn."
I like the elegant old stuff, too, like Teddy Wilson and John Lewis. I heard a recent Alan Broadbent solo CD that sounded fantastic.
Less taken with dramatic, exciting, virtuosic solo piano. McCoy solo would probably be too thunderous for my tastes.
I do like Cecil Taylor's solo outings. But that's almost a genre of its own.

Re: Solo piano faves
I'm looking for recommendations of recordings by a couple of under-the-radar guys: Dick Twardzik and Art Lande.... You guys got any ?
