Will Lee, James Jamerson, Chuck Rainey, Tommy Simms, Nathan East, Wilton Felder, Me'shell, Abraham Laborial, Pino Palladino, Darryl Jones and Jaco would be a great list of the masters. Most the rest are just taking lessons!:p

Oooo... good question. The first guy that comes to mind is Chris Wood of Medeski, Martin, and Wood.

What do you think?

awesome reply. wood is the glue between the wild billy martin (best drummer on the planet imho) and the even wilder and more experimental john medeski. for a trio, they bring it so far out and at the drop of a pin, right back on the groove.

I agree with most of that.. especially the Great Jamerson, his mastery of the electric as a result of knowing well the upright bass, and music theory along with his special ability to come up with syncopated grooves is a very rare combination, especially in his time!..
