I'm currently interviewing Wendell Harrison. Man, that guy can play-- one of the small handful that got featured performer credit, formed his own label, etc. Still not exactly a household name but somebody whose story traces the arc of post-War jazz.
Session Men by Gil Baker
A film maker named Gil Baker has made a series of documentaries on session musicians---those who are heard in a lot of my favorite music, and perhaps at least some of yours. The guys who have worked in the L.A. studios, Nashville, Memphis, Muscle Shoals, Detroit, and others. These fantastic videos are available for viewing on You Tube, and are well worth your time.
