Best Digital Piano for Jazz Musicians 2015

What is the best 88 keys weighted digital piano or keyboard for a jazz musician, or jazz pianist?Do you need a good digital piano for playing jazz either at home, at school, in an apartment, or out at gigs, sessions, or performances? Well the quality of these instruments has gotten so much better in recent years, that if you’re considering a digital piano vs. an acoustic piano these have a lot of benefits.

As a jazz piano player, you know that not every club, restaurant, or venue that presents live jazz or live music has an acoustic piano available for you to play. What this means is that you very often have to bring your own gear like a digital piano, stand, bench, and keyboard amp. For some jazz pianists, playing a real piano on a gig is actually quite rare because whenever they are available, either they have not been tuned in a while or are in need of maintenance and are sadly in a state of disrepair. Nothing worse than a piano that has been neglected!

Best Digital Piano Korg, Kurzweil, Yamaha, Roland, Technics, Nord, and othersAnd of course, if you ask most piano players, except the possible few who started on keyboards or organ, most musicians will tell you that they will always prefer the touch and feel of an acoustic piano with it’s natural, graded hammer action, properly weighted keys, and the warm tone that comes from the sound board, the hammers, real piano strings, and the resonant cabinet supporting each note and lush chord. But don’t underestimate the time, research, development, and passion that has gone into creating a GREAT digital piano. And buying a digital piano or pro keyboard today is often decades after some of these companies first started making portable or home electronic and digital pianos. Yamaha, Korg, Kurzweil, Kawai, Roland, Nord, Casio, and others have been making superior musical instruments, in most cases, for decades.

Best Kawai Digital Piano Kawai MP6 Professional Stage Piano

Kawai MP6 Professional Stage PianoThis is one of the premiere Kawai instruments with a rugged piano action. This MP6 digital piano features the piano, electric piano, and sampled organ sounds that most keyboard players demand. This makes a studio or gigging piano. As a MIDI controller this instrument can split into four zones capable of playing internal or external sound sources, or both. With enough faders and knobs for instant control, this Kawai digital piano has more power than a simple single screen keyboard. With either USB memory stick or internal patches, it’s possible to completely prepare this instrument for every type of gig you play from straight ahead jazz, fusion, solo piano, wedding ceremony, GB function band, pop music, theater gigs, and more.

Jazz piano players need a great sounding digital pianoAlso great for Rock, Country, Gospel, Church Music, Latin, Theater/Broadway, and more!Very often jazz piano players only use one sound on their digital piano the sound of a real acoustic grand piano. Some may even switch occasionally to another patch that emulates an upright piano, or one of the cool electric piano sounds (like a Fender Rhodes, Wurlie (the classic Wurlitzer, or the ‘Doogie Houser’ Yamaha DX 7 sound, or others). But often that’s it! Sure playing with strings, vibraphone, scat voices, or trumpet patches is fun but many jazz musicians NEVER play those sounds on a gig, sessions, recording, or rehearsal.

What you need is a great piano sound, a solid action, and portability to suit your needs. Beyond that the digital piano’s training and accompaniament functions can help you decide what you need. Do you want built in speakers, extensive sample songs (tutorials), and a built in metronome. Do you need recording and if so, is two channel recording enough? How heavy is it? If you regularly move your digital piano you will appreciate the innovations that have been made to make these more and more compact and portable.

Yamaha’s Best Portable Digital Piano Yamaha P95B Digital Piano

Yamaha P 95B Graded Hammer Standard Black Digital Piano Bundle With Keyboard Stand BenchThe Yamaha P95B is just the kind of solid, inexpensive, and lightweight digital piano that jazz musicians love! (This bundle is great, but you can get the P95B instrument alone if you already a bench and keyboard stand.)

Top Keyboard AmpsInternal Speakers on a Digital Piano Don’t Always Cut it!If you’re playing this digital piano in a jazz group with at least three players, or with a trio or quartet with drums you’ll definitely need a good amp, don’t rely on those models with internal speakers only it won’t be enough sound.

If you’re lucky enough to work in a group with a PA system, these digital pianos work great that way and it saves you the trouble of bringing extra gear, but if not consider your needs based on the volume level of your loudest sessions or gigs. If you’re playing in a modern jazz, fusion, big band, or latin jazz group, you may want to get a 150W 200W amp that can handle the increased volume. If you’re playing only solo jazz cocktail piano, small combo gigs, duos with a jazz singer, or even musical theater, cabaret, or a small church gig with this instrument you might be fine with internal speakers or a very small amp.
