Yup...Duck Dunn and Big Al Jackson...along with Booker T and Steve Cropper made quite a rhythm SECTION... And while we're at it...Jerry Jemmott, Bernard Purdie, Cornell Dupree (Guitar) and Truman Thomas (organ) also comprised a terrific rhythm SECTION for King Curtis...LOL

If we are playing this way...Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band...rhythm is in the name.

Sounds like the goal is to troll. I'm pretty sure everyone knew what you meant 11 pages ago. :thumbsup:

Not trolling...Just EDUCATING...You know the game...whisper something in one persons ear, and by the time it gets to the end of the class...the message has changed....I'd hate to think that some of these impressionable minds might ever come across somebody who actually understands musical ensembles and claim that a rhythm section is only comprised of a bassist and a drummer LOL...PLUS...I've added more to this thread than just a bunch of random names...like a REAL discussion :)

The Wrecking Crew, while a phenomenal group of musicians actually consisted of well over 30 or 40 players, including horns...7 or 8 bass players (Kaye, Osborn, Pohlman, Berghofer, Ritz, Bennett, Callender,etc), etc... 5-10 different guitarists (Tedesco, Campbell, Roberts, Kessel, Kaye, Pitman, etc) several drummers (Blaine, Palmer, Gordon, etc) , and lots of keyboardists (Knechtel, Russell, Randi Dr John, etc)...and at least 15 horn players were Wrecking Crew regulars...The Wrecking Crew were just the main on call Los Angeles musicians who could play the pop stuff during that era, and operated unlike other rhythm sections that were self contained units like The Funk Brothers, Booker T & The MG's, The Swampers, MFSB, and the many many sections of the many many touring and recording bands, or even power trios like Cream, Rush, etc, along with the sections in bands like the WHO, Beatles, all of whom had the characteristics that they were consisted mostly of the same players who played session after session as a single unit made up of the same musicians, or the same players who consistently toured together...That said...My favorite Wrecking Crew ensemble would be Osborn (bass), Blaine or Palmer (drums), Knechtel or Russell (keys), Tedesco and Roberts (guitars)...:)

Good info but doesn't change my opinion. :)

Nothing wrong with that. Those two created a very different feel from what Squire had with Bruford. I love their interplay on "Sound Chaser," as well as in multitudinous other tunes. I'm still partial to what Bruford brought to Yes; but as a wise man once said, "It takes diff'rent strokes to move the world."

I used to prefer Bruford to White ... But listening to Anderson Bruford Wakeman and Howe ... Bruford's drumming on the digital drums is really annoying ... The snare sounds like a cheap video game
