I've got a friend I get with who also plays keyboard. We turn on the drum machine (sorry purists...just using it as a fancy metronome) and work on chord & rhythm patterns, and take turns *trying* to solo. Every once and a while one of us will pull off something clever.

I like the piano work of Harry Connick, Jr. & Bruce Hornsby.
