Maybe David Sancious has done solo piano albums.  If so, I'd like to hear
them some time.  What I know he did were a few albums of rather creative
fusion, with emphasis, if I recall correctly, on synthesizers and
percussion.  I liked them a lot back in the days when I still enjoyed much
fusion; he didn't seem to be locked into the technical exhibitionism and very
limited palette of moods that made so much fusion b-o-r-i-n-g.  He would
compose long pieces that would weave in and out of various feels: orchestral,
funky, techno-jazz, even touches of rock and roll.  (He was, after all, Bruce
Springsteen's piano player.)

It seems to me that I still see his stuff in the used record bins from time
to time.  Keep looking.
