Loved the list.  But, being older than probably most of those posting, I'd like to make a suggestion or two of other piano works to further enhance your listening pleasures:

 

1. Art Tatum - Art was the precurser to Oscar.  If you want to enjoy some un-imaginable chops, listen to "Too Marvelous for Words" and "Tea for Two" on "The Best of the Complete Pablo Solo Masterpieces".

 

2. Keith Jarrett - Try "La Scala 2" on "La Scala (live)" and "October 17, 1988" on "Paris Concert"

 

3. McCoy Tyner - Anything off of "Trident" with Elvin Jones and Ron Carter.

 

I hope these suggestions bring you much listening pleasure.

Nice selections. There are so many great pianists, maybe not our age but just our sensibilities differ and give us our different favorites. Tatum and Oscar  technically the best but sometimes my least favorites. Give me Monk and Bill Evans and I am in another place in time. 
 

Nobody has mentioned Horace Silver yet, one of my favorites.
