That last tune (Betty Davis - 'Anti Love Song') is very Larry Graham, in fact if I didn't know better, I'd swear it was Larry himself. Jazz bass, flats, the tone, the execution. Very nice.

Any idea who the bass player is?

1984 classic jam of bassist Buddy Hankerson

You got it with Larry Graham! Neal Schon is on guitar. From wiki: several other members of Graham Central Station performed on it, as well as Merl Saunders, Pete Sears, Sylvester and The Pointer Sisters (who performed backing vocals).

Right on.

I thought so. Larry is pretty much unmistakeable. The undisputed king of thumpin' and pluckin'

IMO one of the coolest slap instrumentals of them all

Didn't realize this was a Stanley tune! I dig the faster tempo on Les's version though.

And the fact that you can hear the bass.

Me too.

Zender is a good human being.

Not a song but James Manning tears the house with a very tastefull solo. Starts at 2:17.



Spin Doctors, Mike White found a way to slap in a rock band.

I've been working on Peg by Steely Dan for a while.
I THINK just the chorus is slap, but the whole song is worthwhile to study.
Chuck Rainey is just...supernatural.
