Why not listen to a recording at this point.. While it might be impressive, it's not interesting (to me).

The point of witnessing live music is to experience the hard work and character of a human with their instrument.

An entire band in sync together - witnessing this incites some emotion in me. Improvisation... this is exciting.

Robotic musicians that could improvise - especially if they can do so alongside human musicians - would be interesting indeed. It seems to me that we have all the building blocks needed for this. If someone isn't working on it already, they should be.

Look into George Lewis' voyager, foundational for this stuff (but not a humanoid robot per se). Been around for a while.
