Learning Jazz Piano?

If you want to really master jazz piano, is it basically learning blues(or boogie woogie), bebop, stride piano, and swing piano? Most modern jazz is bebop right and old jazz is swing, stride, and blues?

Can you basically master blues and boogie woogie, bebop, stride piano, and swing from learning from all the stride piano greats? That includes Oscar Peterson, Fats Waller, Art Tatum, James P. Johnson, and Willie the Lion Smith?

Depends what you want to do and where your market is. If you want to be an innovative recording artist in the US then you must learn bebop - and an understanding of the blues and swing would definitely help. If you're in Europe then bebop is also very useful, but classical, folk and other fusion elements are much more called for.

I went to a concert by British jazz pianist Jason Rebello, he played pieces in ALL those styles, and latin and funk/fusion as well. Of course, you could stick to Just One, but then you limit your options - even a bebop master may be asked to play some stride.

If you want to be a gigging musician then knowledge of all of them (except possibly boogie woogie and MAYBE stride) would be helpful. Doing different arrangements of standards is what gigging is all about - doing a stride version of a swing piece, or a latin version of a blues or something like that. Of course, that doesn't make your life any easier! I struggle with stride (my hands are too small really - can't reach a 10th properly) but I still like the style and wish I could play it properly.
