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. --- Prentiss Riddle ("Aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada.") --- {ihnp4,harvard,seismo,gatech,ctvax}!ut-sally!riddle
