Marcus Miller

To me these two gents are the epitome of "first call" studio/stage bassists.

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Sep 2005 Location: Nashville, TN | | | #1 is James Jamerson. I could listen to his grooves all day. The guy just comes up with some crazy, funky parts that it wouldn't occur to me to play on the same songs.
Pino Palladino. Everything he plays is tasty
Tony Levin. So creative, amazing, unusual parts.
Love Duck Dunn would like to hear more of his stuff.
Always room for Christian McBride
Jaco! I want to hear more and more of his Joni Mitchell and other non Solo or Weather Report stuff
Best for last, Scott Lafaro Such a great genius. I can only imagine what he would have done if he had at least lived to 30! |
