Keith Jarrett - Improvisation on Rhodes (1971)
One has to like Improvisation or Fusion to appreciate that piece. I have several ablums by Jarrett - from the 1970's and early 80's.

YouTube is a reasonably good resource for exploring what's out there. Unfortunately, the video quality is not always good.
