Victor Wooten all the way for me. There's nobody better. Well, not on Earth, anyway.

Tal Wilkenfeld has a lovely style, too. I loved the fact that she (a bass player) wowed the Crossroads festival a couple of years ago where everyone was out to see guitardists!

Oh, and I can listen to old Jaco Pastorius recordings all day. Stunning!

NB. Are you digging up old threads again, Josh?!

Geez....so many.....but the usual suspects are MK, Gary Willis, Macca, and JPJ. Also Dave Holland (his electric chops are wicked!).

I'm so late in on this one - however - the man has to be Michael Manring.

A totally unsung hero is the British session jazz man Fred T Baker - absolutely wonderful, and if you ever get chance to check out Juce then do. Really fabulous stuff.
Wouldn't it be great to practice for 7 hours per day and earn a good living?
