Their playing is more free than that of classical pianists, and they create an air of spontaneity in their performances. They generally do not write down their compositions; [[improvisation]] is a significant part of their work. Well known jazz pianists include [[Bill Evans]], [[Art Tatum]], [[Duke Ellington]], [[Thelonious Monk]], [[Oscar Peterson]], [[Bud Powell]], [[McCoy Tyner]], [[Chick Corea]], [[Herbie Hancock]], and [[Brad Mehldau]].
