Eh, maybe he's not really "ubiquitous":

But holy crap, I didn't know he played on a Crystal Gayle album!

Sklar and Krothmar are mentioned, but not Russ Kunkel? That doesn't seem right.

Considering he killed his mother with an axe then I guess describing him as 'troubled' is justified.

It was a subtle hint for those in the know, so as not to sully the thread with the grisly details.

This is totally one of my favorite ILM threads ever.

"Spanky" (guitarist on Tribe Called Quest, The Roots, Tony Toni Tone, etc albums)

― you can email me if you wish to challenge the truth (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

Also I think on Raphael Saadiq's solo stuff. I have no idea what his real name is, and google isn't much help.

― you can email me if you wish to challenge the truth (nickalicious), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 14:41 (nineteen years ago)

Yeah, Spanky used to be in a group called "Our Gang".

― Rev. PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie 2), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

Really? I will soooo check that out, he is one of my favorite guitarists.

just don't mistakenly buy a spanky & our gang album. although there are probably lots of hired guns on "sunday will never be the same". what a song!

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:25 (nineteen years ago)

conjunction junction dude produced most of spanky & our gang's cool 60's stuff. he was a session cat. bob dorough.

― scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

I recent years, he used to do some kind of jazz brunch for a long time somewhere, I think.

Kenny Aronoff!
Kenny Buttrey!

Good choices, but we forgot about (on the other side of the rhythm section)
Kenny Aaronson!

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 16:52 (nineteen years ago)

I always imagined that being a session player would be a really cool job.

― Sundar (sundar), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:43 (nineteen years ago)

The Iridium, looks like.

1650 Broadway, the real Brill Building.

He never will forget at all
The day he played at the Albert Hall.
A million sessions ago it seems.
He is a session man,
A chord progression,
A top musician.

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:48 (nineteen years ago)

the best thing about that song is the four-syllable pronunciations of "progression" and "musician."

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:54 (nineteen years ago)

Yes!

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:55 (nineteen years ago)

In fact, it really should be written out
a chord progress-i-an
A top music-i-an

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:58 (nineteen years ago)

Because, you see, he is not a chord progression himself, rather a master of chord progressions, a chord "progressian."

― The Player In The Redd Cap (Two-Headed Doge) (Ken L), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 20:59 (nineteen years ago)

damn, i never thought of it that way. that makes total sense!!! you are a top sense-i-an, mr. redd capp!

― fact checking cuz (fcc), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 21:01 (nineteen years ago)
