All kiddin' aside, Russ, the late great Oscar Peterson often referred to the recordings he did on his Yamaha 9000 Pro as "midis" or "his midis".
I was lucky enough to be the one working with him to help him get familiar with the new instrument.
So, perhaps it really is in direct proportion to the hipness of the player...they didn't get much hipper than Oscar!
