Ok.. You confused me!  ::)
Do you mean jazz or other genres such as hip hop?

By the way, personally, I love jazz piano,... although I'm not really knowledgeable in this field. Also, I often listen to jazz music. In the future, I'd like to occupy with this genre more.

Oscar Peterson, Bill Evans, Thelonius Monk, Art Tatum, Duke Ellington, George Gershwin...

I love them all.

I'm not gonna say I like it, but I don't hate it either. I just can't grasp it. When I hear Oscar Peterson playing I'm thinking 'what are you doing'? I just can't feel the tones, it's almost as if it is thrown around in my head.

Then again, my teacher is a jazz pianist, go figure.

There are some jazz pieces I like however, but it definitely doesn't sound like this:
