Who remembers this track? I know Stanley Clarke is on Piccolo Bass, but what was the name of Jeff Lorber's regular bassist who is spanking that Stingray?

i have that record on vinyl. i MUCH prefer his earlier albums.

bassist is danny wilson, who is a slamming player.

Cool track with classic SC doublestops. Danny Wilson played some great stuff on those early records. IIRC Tune 88 was a real fun one to play. Between Lorber and Danny, it was nearly bearable to listen to Kenny G... almost. IMO Lorber wrote much of the book that became the funkier side of "the Wave"/smooth jazz.
