I didn't see a thread or sticky for favorites in regard to a particular instrument, and I am on a piano and drums kick as of late.
SO, who are your favorite pianists and drummers of the Jazz persuasion?? Piano = Bud Powell Drums = Art Blakey What about you guys? 
I really don't have favourites in jazz because there are so many intelligent musicians in this genre.....but if I narrow it down to two players for mainstream jazz as opposed to free jazz , I'd have to pick my Canadian compatriot Oscar Peterson on piano and the drummer always will be Buddy Rich !
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!

Jack Dejohnette actually plays both instruments, and he is one of my all-time favorite drummers

pianists..Theloneous Monk ,Herbie Hancock , Mcoy Tyner, Les Mccan, Dave Brubeck, Bill Evans, Errol Garner, George Shearing, ...immediately spring to mind but there are a lot more wonderfull jazz pianists to add to that... drummers ..Buddy Rich , Shelley Manne, Jack Dijonette, Kenny Clare ,Kenny Clarke, Phil Seaman ,Tony Williams, Philly Joe Jones, Max Roach, Art Blakey, Billy Cobham, The baron John von Olmann, , and the list goes on brilliant drummers..

Don't know a whole lot about jazz in general but 'Take Five' is still my favourite.
