I like Paul Chambers for his groove and arco. Sam Jones for his Time. Rufus Reid becaues he taught me. Jaco because of the absolute passion. Christian McBride because he's the MAN righ now--and he's the director of the Brubeck Institute at the University of the Pacific, which is my Alma Mater; Ron Carter because of everything he's recorded; George Maraz because of his soul; Richard Davis because of his intensiity; Reggie Workman due to his authenticity; Lonnie Plaxico because of his work with he Jazz Messengers; Scott LaFaro--BECAUSE HE'S THE BEST! (Eddie Gomez and Chuck Isreal are cool, too!). Who're you 'un?

Paul McCartney; his work with Beatles and Wings and all his solo stuff has been very rewarding through out my life.

Tommy Shannon; He's filled the holes in not one but TWO three member bands and behind two of the greatest modern day Blues guitarists Johnny Winter and SRV.

Charles Mingus; a pioneer and to watch his hands glide up and down the bass effortlessly he truely was at one one with it.

John Entwhistle; he was as solid as they came and when called upon stepped up to the plate for various solo's.
