Some recommendations there as well.

Bennie Maupin - Jewel in the Lotus
Joe Zawinul - Zawinul
Frank Zappa - The Grand Wazoo
Pharoah Sanders - Thembi
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions
Craig Taborn - Junk Magic
Sun Ra - Lanquidity

 

Night Child by the Oscar Peterson Quartet.

Oscar Peterson wasn't known for his electric piano playing, but this album shows he had a great feel for it - instead of his usual dazzling flurries of notes, his playing is more restrained and atmospheric on the slower cuts, and it makes for a great 'mood' album to wind down to at the end of the day. One of my favorites, and it should be better known.

 

* Joe Farrell - Moon Germs (with Herbie Hancock on the Rhodes)
* Cal Tjader - Live at Funky Quarters
* Hatfield and the North - Rotters Club
* Donny Hathaway - Live (that's actually a Wurlitzer piano though)

Second the recommendation of Chick Corea's 'Return to Forever' and 'Light as a Feather'.. quintessential Rhodes records.
I still own and play a Rhodes mark I myself, cool instrument.

 

Brightblack Morning Light.

I have an old MKI sitting here I got working again...need some inspiration

Traffic- John Barleycorn Must Die

 

Weather Report - s/t from 1971
Bob James - All Around The Town (and, if you're a member of Wolfgang's Vault, check the full shows from the Bottom Line used for this album - all Rhodes plus some acoustic piano)

 

That's what I would go with too.

 

Billy Cobhams "Spectrum" album with Jan Hammer on the keys.

 

Herbie Hancock - Fat Albert Rotunda
Miles Davis - Filles De Kilmanjaro (with Corea or Hancock on EP depending on the track)

 

Fender Rhodes through a ring modulator;

 

Can't view the video (who is it?), but I really dislike the use of ring modulator on the Fender Rhodes, which almost always produces out of tune notes. Corea's live use with Miles in 69 particularly egregious.
