Albums with a lot of Rhoades piano/electric piano

Listening to the album, "Light As A Feather" by Return to Forever, I'm curious to see if there are any albums that are heavy on the Rhoades piano or electric piano that maybe I'm missing. I have and know a lot, but I'm sure I haven't heard everything.

So anyway, starting with this. I love the sound of Chick Corea's e-piano here, probably the best tone he had was on this album.

My favorite Rhodes player is Herbie Hancock, I think he was one of the first to recognize that is was a unique and different instrument from the piano and started approaching it that way. Let me find a clip for "Butterfly" and I will post it.

Some great Rhodes playing on this Ponty album from George Duke. This is not the Ponty you are used to you, this is early in his career and the music is hard bop/fusion/AG, very intense, great stuff.

I agree that Herbie Hancock was the master of Rhoades piano. George Duke and Chick Corea did some great stuff too.

A lot of the great stuff came out in the 60s and 70s, anything from the 80s onward is hard to find, at least with that vintage e-piano sound. I don't like Corea's 80s/90s sound when it comes to that particular sound, sounds too digital.

Do you any good modern albums where the rhoades are very present?

If you like that Holdsworth style of jazz, Pasqua is good on this one, he's playing a digital copy that sounds good, hold on and I'll be back with a real Rhodes.

That looks good. Is it like a mix between Tony Williams Lifetime and Holdsworth's live album "All Night Wrong" who also features Chad Wackerman on drums?

No problem John. You've given me a lot of info already. Let's see if other people can chime in (otherwise, bring on more albums).

That live album (Face a Face) is seriously kick-ass with original Rhodes, repleted with wah-wah.

No, sorry. I will, as this thread ain't going anywhere any time soon . I will check those out sometime in the next day or two.
