Who's the better Keyboard Player? Monte Moir or Jimmy Jam?

Is there anyone on earth that's a funkier keyboard player than Jimmy Jam?

I've always wondered who palyed what live.

I think I read Monte was classically trained whereas Jimmy was more self taught.

I'm pretty sure when Morris says "Piano Man" it's Monte playing the piano sound on the keyboard.

But as a keys player, I try to see who'spalying more of the fat string/pads that tend to stay over whole measures, and who's doing more of the "horns" sounds. it's hard to tell.

i also don't know how they got such a fat sound with only 4 hands at at time in concert.
