Mannheim Steamroller occasionally performs "quasi-live." I caught
one of their performances in Salt Lake 2-3 years ago. Solos,
percussion, etc. are performed live over a recorded background.
The performers wear headphones which provide a live feed as well
as a click track!

At least two of the group members regularly contribute to more
commercial efforts. Chip Davis (percussion) wrote the music for
"Convoy" and other ilk. Jackson Berkey (keys) often works as a studio
musician in addition to his solo piano efforts. (His master class
at the U of Utah Music Dept. gave me more insight into music than
a four foot stack of Keyboard magazines.)

These folks just need to occasionally extend themselves in their
own way and Fresh Aire is one such outlet.
