My band is made up of the best players available at any given time. I mainly use pick up groups comprised of monster players who can all read real good and have chops out the whazoo. I work with a lot of different bass players, drummers and horn players. I like to keep things fresh so I don't get uptight about not having regular sidemen. When I record in the studio I use the best players in town that week. I am mainly a songwriter. I play guitar but I emulate horn players like Coltrane and Miles for melody lines and piano players like Herbie Hancock and Bill Evans for harmonic concepts. I always try to hire sidemen that are better than me. That way I have the best chance of sounding good. Give credit where credit is due I say. Without my sidemen I'd be nowhere. On Piece Offering I had Leon Alexander on drums, Chris Brydge on upright and Blake Wallace on trumpet. These guys are all stellar players and made the CD greater than the sum of all its parts. Thanks guys!
