Many years ago I attended a NAMM show in Anaheim CA. Yamaha had their 
own showrooms, including one with a trio consisting of Chick Corea, Dave 
Weckl, and John Pattitucci. All Corea's playing was recorded on the 
Diskclavier, I'd love to know what happened to those sequences.

That trio was astonishing, one of the best jazz groups I've heard yet.

Best,
