Roy Bittan - jazzboCR - 29-01-2015
It may be odd to see Springsteen's piano player in a jazz listing, but that's just what his solo album is...and on the moody/atmospheric side at that. The Usual Suspect has a listing (though AMG hasn't caught up yet): http://www.amazon.com/Out-Box-Roy-Bittan/dp/B00PJAA8L2
He's a solid pianist and a survivor ( of Springsteen's mass band firing in '89). For more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roy_Bittan << He's done a huge amount of successful session work.
