Bob James likes to use a Fender Rhodes quite a bit. He had a number of albums in the late 70's and early 80's. The "Theme from Taxi" was one of the more famous tunes he did with a Rhodes.
Searching for Fender Rhodes in Jazz or Fusion
Looking for recordings in jazz,fusion,or vocals with the fender rhodes electric piano. I'm stuck in the seventies and just don't hear enough of it these days. Any info is appreciated although I'm really after the mellow or laid back sounds of the 70s and 80s.

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. |
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. http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/middleton%20 |
