In no particular order... Although my personal picks are the first listed.

Guitar: Dann Huff, Tim Pierce, Larry Carlton, Jay Graydon, Steve Lukather, Lee Ritenour. Didn't see anyone mention Dominick Miller, Bruce Gaitsch, Daryl Stuermer, Danny Kortchmar, Paul Jackson Jr.

Bass: Guy Pratt, Pino Palladino, Nathan East, Lee Sklar, Tommy Sims, David Hungate, Tony Levin, Neil Stubenhaus, Bob Glaub, Randy Jackson. One other guy to mention is Rutger Gunnarsson, the fanatically talented bass player who brought virtuosity and flair to the vanilla sounding ABBA.

Drums: Jeff Porcaro, Vinnie Colauita, John Robinson, Steve Ferrone, Carlos Vega, Steve Gadd, and no one I saw mentioned Paul Leim.

Someone should also mention guys like Michael Brecker, Patrick Leonard, David Foster, Michael Omartion, Raphiel Ravenscroft, Lakshminarayanan Shankar, etc.

It's nearly impossible to pinpoint the best Studio Musician as there are MILLIONs of great one's. But for sound, style, and overall feel...Dann Huff is definatly one of my favorite's, and one the I didn't see mentioned...Mike Slamer, as he has it all!

24/04/03: Laurent - jazzhard@hotmail.com
I have seen Dann Huff's name a lot. I love the guy and he's a amazing player. I also think that his involvment with quite a lot of rock acts helped AOR fans to get to know him better than other players.

My vote goes to :

Bass : 1) the one and only Neil Stubenhaus. The most musical, melodic and brilliant bassist ever.
2) Lee Sklar 3) Abraham Laboriel 4) Jimmy Johnson 5) Chuck Rainey

Drums : 1) John JR Robinson 2) Vinnie Colaiuta 3) Ron Wikso 4) Steve Smith 5) Simon Phillips

Guitars : 1) Michael O'Neill 2) Larry Carlton 3) Michael Landau 4) Michael Thompson 5) Steve Lukather

Percussion : 1)Lenny Castro 2) Luis Conte 3) Paulinho da Costa 4) Rafael Padilla 4) Michito Sanchez

Keyboards : 1) David Garfield 2) Randy Kerber 3) Greg Phillinganes 4) George Duke 5) Greg Mathieson
