Phil Lynott on just about any Thin Lizzy track, but especially "The boys are back in town"...

Tony Levin with Peter Gabriel on "Downside Up" from the Milan concert.

Jaco is just phenomenal but his predecessor in Weather Report, Alphonso Johnson, was no slouch either... One of my favourite numbers from Black Market, on which they both contributed to different tracks, was "Herandnu", which was Johnson's composition.

Footnote: that there are even now only TWO Weather Report tracks in the entire RP library is one of the great tragedies of this radio station. Yes I know it's eclectic rock not jazz, but come ON...

The first one that occurred to me was Chuck Rainey in: It has the nice extra of having an very tasty guitar solo too. I really cannot understand people who have venom for the Dan. Not me! I've always thought that the Dan were about the coolest band on the Planet!

On acoustic bass...Charles Mingus on the track "Switch Blade" on Duke Ellington's classic 1962 piano trio album Money Jungle. Just phenomenal.

Bump again. Don't let the clown suits fool you—Bootsy is a very serious musician indeed. dionysius wrote: When one thinks "basslines" one should think: James Brown. Parliament/Funkadelic. Bootsy's Rubber Band. Maceo Parker. Dee Lite. All of them have this bass player in common: Bootsy Collins! Hard to pick just one track. Goin' with "Get Up Offa That Thing" (JB, of course).
