Maurice didnt just set trends in R&B, as Ramsey Lewis explains. “Well, I’d always been an acoustic piano player and a lover of that sound. But then back in 1974, for the sake of so-called ‘keeping up with music trends’, Maurice White was like ‘On this record, why don’t we experiment with the Fender Rhodes, electric piano and maybe a couple of synthesizers?’… So I said ‘OK’ - and of course that album ‘Sun Goddess’ became a smash! And so I guess - in terms of me putting out hit after hit and then going electric - along the way others got on the train, and it became part of an era in jazz. https://youtube/watch?v=dS463tbX-HE
