Hi. As everyone know there are diferent kinds of jazz. There is one particular style that is very cool. I haven't found a composer who play this style yet. Pls give me the name of some jazz composers + a mp3 of the piece. (not songs)

[Kassaa]

what are you talking about? What style, what piece?

"Cool" would be Miles Davis.  You should also check out Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers.  The Blakey and Davis groups consistently had the up-and-coming stars of the jazz world.

Thx for all the tips. Here's one video of one who play what I ment. Don't know the name of any composers who play like this.

The style you like is called "stride piano", which comes out of ragtime but has a swing feel in the LH as opposed to ragtime in which the rhythmic feel is even or "square". This was the most important style of jazz piano playing before the advent of bebop, when pianists like Bud Powell and Al Haig shrank the role of the LH to create sparser lighter textures that fit better into ensemble playing. Stride is primarily a solo idiom. You should check out the following pianists...

Errol Garner
Oscar Peterson
Thelonius Monk
Chucho Valdes
Fats Waller
James P. Johnson
Dave Brubeck
Dr. John (not exactly jazz, but wow...)

And many others, hope this helps.

I feel like I've left some out.

To add to the previous list, check out Teddy Wilson and Earl Hines for stride; other jazz pianists worth listening to would be Horace Silver, Geroge Shearing and Keith Jarrett, and finally two names that stand out head and shoulders above the rest: Art Tatum and Bill Evans.  Tatum's early stuff included fantastic stride -  'Runnin Wild' recorded in 1938 and available on the Standard Sessions comes to mind.
