Searching for Fender Rhodes in Jazz or Fusion

Johnmilner, if you remember Jeff Beck's masterpiece "Blow By Blow" you would probably remember the wonderful Rhodes piano palyed by Max Middleton. His new release is absolutely incredible. His Rhodes sound goes back to Cat Stevens.

Below is an excerpt from the RL-2 records website:

Max Middleton's new Chill Out Jazz album 'Land of Secrets' is now available on RL-2. His Fender Rhodes keyboard work has appeared with Jeff Beck, Chris Rea, Kate Bush, John Martyn, Hummingbird, Beck, Bogart & Appice, Mick Taylor (Rolling Stones) and the Beatles producer George Martin.

Max has been around. Great stuff.

Try Xaver Fischer Trio (german label Unique Records}.I'll bet you will email me and thank me.

BTW, for anyone who may be interested, you can sample Max Middleton's new album on the link below. It will also provide you with availability as it is very hard to find Max's albums.

Enjoy, Ed.

cannonball adderley quintet-mercy mercy mercy(live at the club)....one of the greatest of all time.

Really like Zawinul w/ Adderly too. Ahmad Jamal Outertime Innerspace is great, same goes for most of George Duke's early 70's stuff on MPS. The work he did w/ Zappa (Grand Wazoo, Blessed Relief for one) is cool too. The Mwandishi, Herbie Hancock (Complete Warner Bros. Recordings) 2cd set gets you 3 of his funkier records (all w/ Fender Rhodes). The Italian band Perigeo, especially on Genealogia, (1974) has some excellent electric piano on it that really sticks in your head.
