This may seem like clickbait for Synth and Software, but it's fun and I sure enjoyed listening to all these tracks while putting it together.

Top 21 Electric Piano Performances of All Time

Synth and Software polled our contributors to come up with a list of our favorite 21 electric piano performances of all time. Today we take Fender Rhodes, Wurlitzer, and other electric pianos for granted. The best sample libraries and even some modeled instruments sound as good as the real...

What no Lonnie Liston Smith?

 

[Virtuoso]

From 4:30 on, it's like an audience with God.

In my opinion this is a surprisingly good list but as I like to go into left field this music from Herbie's Sextant album is amazing but not typical in any way and not for the faint of heart,lol








If you want to hear more this is the whole album:

Hey, the clickbait worked<G>!

 

[Nick Batzdorf]

Gotta distinguish between clickbait just intended to open your wallet and clickbait that's worth clicking on.

I know, I know, this is the former...

Chick Corea and Jan Hammer, you can't go wrong

 

[Technostica]

This is one of my favourites.
Maybe not an obvious player to choose but he gets very funky on this one. Great bass player too which is key for funk.

Joe Zawinul also. He's more my flavour and some George Duke as a side dish.

I just checked it out after posting first so great to see George Duke on “Eat That Question” from Frank Zappa's The Grand Wazoo.

Great list, a few nice surprises and I used to own a few of these on vinyl.

One more: Ray Charles - What'd I Say, although that is not all electric in terms of piano.

+1 George Duke and Joe Zawinul

They were unbelievable,I saw them in probably 25-30 live shows.


a bit off topic but this is pretty special & if you’re a Zawinul fan this worth hearing.
While this is specifically not Electric Piano this is great live performance of Zawinul with Trilok Gurtu who is a total freak of nature percussionist.
He plays his interpretation of a trap kit(no bass drum) and tons of Indian percussion.

 

[Saxer]

This track was the first where I ever heard the Wurlitzer...

 

[Craig Duke]

Nice selection. I will say they picked the wrong track from the Lyle Mays album though.

 

[Nick Batzdorf]

That was another one that would have been good, Craig. I thought about that, but it wasn't the one our contributor suggested.
