I agree. His improvisation often has strong influences from Bartók. I'm quite sure this is why he appealed to me at first.
If you listen to his Children's Songs, or his 1st or 2nd Piano Concerto, it is pretty apparent that he has contributed to contemporary classical music. The 2nd Piano Concerto is especially good; he truly blends the classical and jazz idioms unlike few others (Claude Bolling comes to mind). This is why I love Chick. He is a musician, not just a jazz pianist.
