I really enjoyed "The Universal Mind of Bill Evans" which is interview and demonstration. He is interviewed by his brother, who also played jazz piano, though not to the same level. It might be a little high-level for jazz newbies, though.
There are some fantastic Ahmad Jamal trio videos from the 60s that are on YouTube, one tune per video. They were kind of precursors to modern pop music videos, shot in documentary fashion. If you are able to come across Billy Taylor's TV show from the late 50's called "This is Jazz", it is an admirable set of broadcasts, though not restricted to jazz piano by any means. All these suggestions are 40 years old, though. Others may have more modern suggestions, but I have found that mostly all you get are concert videos these days. Which is fine, don't get me wrong! But if you want a bit of background or explanation, you won't really get it.
