Ah, now, if we're getting into the realms of fusion... Hancock used one on
three albums, Jan Hammer, Passport (as has alrady been mentioned), obscure
Spaniards Iceberg, Return to Forever's live album (anyone got this to
confirm? 'Tron apparently played by Gayle Moran), recently deceased Polish
keyboard maestro Czeslaw Niemen... loads.
