Art Tatum--jazz pianist. I got turned on to him by my 19 y/o son, who is a jazz pianist himself. I've included a video of, appropriately, Tiger Rag.
From WestWord Music, "Possibly the most virtuosic pianist in the history of jazz, Art Tatum had tremendous technique and could play at dizzying speeds, especially on an insanely fast and celebrated 1933 recording of "Tiger Rag," which is part of the outstanding Columbia compilation Piano Starts Here, that also includes some of the first recordings he made. While Tatum could play flawlessly at high speeds, he was equally at home laying back on a relaxed stride piano song or ballad. Any of his solo or group recordings on the Pablo imprint also showcase Tatum's extraordinary and seemingly effortless talent."

Art Tatum was an excellent pianist - like Oscar Peterson, very quick. I play the piano and recently I've been working on playing fast clips, but mostly classical pieces such as Piezoncka's Tarantella.
I'm trying to work on getting Oscar Peterson speed on C Jam Blues - speed with quality. I can get the speed, but you have to have the technique too.
This is why Tatum and Peterson were so great - they could go really fast but also have the technique when doing so.
My guilty pleasure: honky tonk piano - all speed, mild technique, but still fun
