I can't be sure at the moment (at work), but check out Jean Luc Ponty's very first album, "King Kong", which was released in 1969 (it might be listed as a Frank Zappa album, since he produced it and composed all the songs). Includes George Duke on Rhodes, and (I think) Emil Richards on percussion. I know the song "King Kong" has some vibraphone in it, I'm just not sure if it and the Rhodes play at the same time. If they do it should sound nice and "tinkly".

Frank Zappa's 2 LP album "Uncle Meat" has a whole album side of variations on King Kong
