    Upright Bassists

    Can't forget about Reggie Workman (Wayne Shorter's JuJu and Adam's Apple, John Coltrane Quartet, Art Blakey's Free For All) One of the best supporting players out there and a great soloist when given the opportunity. Bob Cranshaw is another semi-unsung hero. I just picked up a copy of Bobby...

    Steely Dan + Sklar?

    Tough..... Aja's the usual pick, but i would go with Pretzel Logic, Katy Lied, or Royal Scam. But SD were all over the place that its hard to pick one. If you can, find a copy of Citizen Steely Dan. Its a box set with all of their 70's albums. You can probably find it cheap.
