Who is this guy?! Sounds like Flea before there was a Flea..
Check out the groove at about the 3:00 mark..Sounds like some 80's Chilis.
Bass solo starting at 6:25 is pretty awesome...Flea definately heard this tune. Brecker Brothers - Some Skunk Funk - YouTube |

If you turn it on some night and Will isn't there, it's probably him.
He is a monstrous player. Obviously, if he recorded with the BB.

This link is sick...the Breckers' angular-linear Funk lines kill.
Jason, at times, sounds like Jaco/Alphonso rolled into one. Jason is also an incredible singer.

I wasnt saying Flea was the be all end all. Just that it sounded like he got some of his style from Neil Jason. |

Neil Jason is one of those players we have all heard but may not have any idea, he's done so much studio work thru the years:jingles, soundtrack and regular recording. |

That 'original-album-classics' line also has great deals on Mahavishnu, Stanley Clarke etc.
