i believe it's benny reitveld (Sp?).

i love santana but much prefer his stuff from the 60's and 70's.

I don't like santana but I had some email conversations with benny rietveld a few years ago and he is very nice, and is a fantastic player. Played with Miles in the late 80's.

thank you guys .i have not recognize him ,he have cut his hair ,leave his hat & he's much better than with miles .i've see him play a white tune 5 strings by theses days & it was the only miles bassist who don't impress me he looks a bit shy & confused with miles .
nice player anyway & sweet tone on crossroads.

Foley played bass?

foley played guitar riffs on his piccolo i like his sound and his playing a lot although i'm more inclined to the low end .
by the way it was benny rietveld who carry the bass while foley soloing by this time (miles in paris).this is where i have see them +i got the DVD .
