the session musicians--multi-segmented

[jazzboCR]

Now we dive deep in the FunZone. For every 1 tune I present, I get to listen to 5. Yee ha! Wikipedia has a good article on the subject--I'm merely following up on their leads #. General principles: Most session cats were used with other guys* for just a day or a session--no cohesion. Some folks, however, were simpatico enough personally and musically to be a Producer's Pick for any kind of session, and even got inside-industry names. Top-notch musicians who could even bring arrangements/ inventions to something to add to the tasty licks. One such is The Wrecking Crew. Here's the wiki, followed by some tunes (some surprises there): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wreckin...28music%29
