@jadevol Yeah, especially #ChuckRainey talking about how he went against what they were asking him to play, and making it sound great. To have Chuck Rainey with #BernardPurdie & #JimKeltner & #SteveGadd on drums is something.

@jadevol #ChuckRainey or #TomBarney on bass? I mean, my god they had great players. Any faves you want to name? Any fave shows?

@tc_morekindness @KilleansRow #WalterBecker once said, "Once I met #ChuckRainey, I felt there was no need for me to bring my bass to the studio any more."

#SteelyDan

@KilleansRow #ChuckRainey is a bass player supreme. I especially love his playing on Steely Dan records.

Ep 3 of the #1619Project covers the birth of American music and it's a mindblower. The intro talks about the Black roots of yacht rock. If possible the episode deepened my appreciation of #SteelyDan who featured several legendary Black musicians. Bassist #ChuckRainey plays on classic SD tracks, from Home at Last to Kid Charlemagne & Bad Sneakers--described by #DonaldFagen as a #NewYork song. Love Rainey's playing.
