Can anyone tell me who is playing the piano solo on Dorothy Parker on It Aint Over? Is it Mr. Neto...or Mr. Nelson?

Thanks!

The Rhodes (manufactured by Fender) is an electric piano, made popular by artists such as Stevie Wonder, Steely Dan and other 70's acts. Prince plays it quite a bit on TRC and on every track on Xpectation.

The piano solo that Renato plays sounds very characterisitc of what I've come to know of his style and absolutely nothing like Prince's signature style of piano playing. The modes and scales he's playing are much more latin-jazz based than Prince is more apt to play. The rhodes part, however, is pure Prince - very loose and funk based.
