Here's a compilation of (rather than a "best of") certain tracks that I love, all featuring the Rhodes in some capacity, and sometimes the Wurlitzer. This is mainly 70s jazz, with some latin and brazilian touches as well.
Some of these I've ripped from CD, others I've collected from other great jazz and funk blogs, vinyl will come later - give me a little time to get organised :)
Hope you enjoy this start to my blog.
.... tell me what you think !
This comp is dedicated to some great music bloggers who've given me so much inspiration, and even some of these tracks - so BIG shoutouts to (here we go) : ileoxumare, Orgy In Rhythm, My Jazz World, fourbrothers, Pharoah's Dance, Djalma, El Reza, From the Shed, CinemaFunk, My Favourite Sound, The Growing Bin, MonsieurWillyworld, Funky Disposition, Baby grandpa, El Goog Ja, Eternal Rhythm, Jazz Nekko (come back!),Vinyl4Giants, Soul Spectrum, Rock Savage, and Milk Crate Breaks

simon
that was "plenty" not "planety", though who knows, some "planety" comps could be good as well ...
thanks simon!
Much success with your blogsite. Rhodes compilations #1 & 2 are gems. preciate your work.
Thanks gianni and cliff, glad you're enjoying them. Plenty more of these to come, so stay tuned.
Hi guys, comp #3 "The Rhodes In Brazil" is up now here :
http://neverenoughrhodes.blogspot.com/2008/05/coming-soon.html
The blogs you linked in this post are the holy grail to the 70's genre of soul, funk and jazz which birthed the bastard children named hip-hop, R&B, and acid jazz.
Tell you what..... if they all stopped posting TODAY, I'd have 10 more blogs up by tomorrow further preserving these artifacts for those such as myself to draw inspiration and a deeper appreciation for the history of sound driven by the spirit of love and power.
Thank you yet again.
and thank YOU mr. wone!
Hi guys –
Rhodes Compilation # 4 is now up, go here
While I'm at grabbing this cool sounding mix may as be so bold as to direct you to a site you know about - My Jazz World - he's just posted Phil Upchurch's first featuring Donny Hathaway on keyboards. Slap my wrists if this is old news but the link anyway is http://rapidshare.com/files/124535057/PhilUpchurch_Upchurch.zip
Blog on!

i had seen that one, but thanks for the recommendation anyway Shuggiemac :)
Hope you're enjoying yourself here!
Hello Simon, I'm a Fender Rhodes fanatic and I'm so blessed that I have found your wonderful site and I missed a lot. You are doing a wonderful job here keeping the one and only Rhodes sound alive.
I just got here and seeing your rhodes compilation makes my heart beat faster eager to hear those tunes and I believe that comp#1 is a good start. The rapidshare link you provided gets an error page because the link to be copied was cut too short. Since I'm a free user, megaupload is super slow than RS, and there is an alternative to RapidShare called zippyshare which is much faster. Try it at zippyshare.com.
Thank you for your hard work.
hi evilagan ,
The link's all there, just best viewed when the comments are on the webpage itself - so you can click the thread title and you'll see it all there.
Or for this time just get Part A and Part B
Newer posts have alternative Mediafire links.
welcome to the blog & have fun
Hi, first of all sorry for my bad english.
I've discovered only today your blog and it is what i was looking for, but i don't know where i can begin! Can i ask you what are your favourites rhodes album (and pieces) ever? I like very genre, but i'm interested especially in jazz (jazzrock?), i love things like Filles de Kilimanjaro ort Bitches brew... can you help me?
Hi Ermenegildus,
Good that you found the blog :)
I guess some of my favourite rhodes tracks are in these compilations - if you like jazz, Try number 1 (this one), 2, 4 and 6. Of the albums I've posted here, maybe try first of all : George Duke "The Inner Source" and Bill Evans "Symbiosis".
have fun!
simon
