Im sure most musicians know whats up with this instrument. The Fender Rhodes piano is used by my favorite jazz musician Bob James. Bob James is one of the, if not the, most sampled artist by hip hop producers. A lot of Hip Hop songs were influenced and created from his work. At first it was the samples I was after, but after hearing his work, I became a true fan. On top of all that, theres just something about the Rhodes that is so addicting.... listen:
That song "Angela" is the theme song for the 80's TV series "Taxi" and was later sampled for Souls of Mischiefs' "Cab Fare." Damn, Rhodes did it again...
If you cant see the videos, you can update your Adobe Flash and Shockwave Plug-ins.
