African-American concert pianists

on: March 26, 2006, 03:28:19 AM

...other than Condi Rice.

I'm interested in finding out more about notable African-American classical concert pianists. Also, I'm interested in researching jazz pianists who've made classical recordings and had significant classical training (like Wynton Marsalis, except he plays trumpet).

Can people suggest some names?

Two that come up to my mind, have great careers and are gifted pianists are:

Andre Watts

Awadagin Pratt
