Today is the 11th anniversary of John Entwistle's death. I had the pleasure of seeing him play live a few times and was always impressed by his musicality and ability to keep up with Keith Moon- much less lay a foundation for Pete Townshend. I also have always enjoyed Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, and Flea for similar reasons. Who are some of your favorites?
Jack Casady (Jefferson Airplane/Hot Tuna) McCartney Jack Bruce Carol Kaye (60's sessions player on many well-known songs) James Jamerson (Motown sessions player) Jim Fielder (Blood, Sweat & Tears) Entwistle Sting
Some great talent here. A couple of more off the run suggestions: Jaco Pastorious- his contributions to Joni Mitchell's catalogue are great. I especially like 'Hejira' Fernando Saunders- adds to some of Lou Reed' best works. I like Live in Italy. Peter Hook from New Order helped create their sound. These players use the bass to "sing' as a lead instrument more than just provide an underpinning for the other instruments.
