Tyvärr har inte bildproducenten förstått Tonys skönhet. Får därför sparsamt med utrymme. Men hörs i kören.

Anthony Jackson

Anthony Jackson, (June 23, 1952) is a Grammy-nominated American electric bass guitar player based in New York City. By those who know his playing, musicians and non-musicians alike, he is considered a master, who has furthered the technical and idiomatic boundaries of his instrument. He is seen by many to have added considerable legitimacy to the instrument in more jazz-related musical contexts, though he has had a career that has gone beyond that style.

Rick Rosas

Rick “The Bass Player” Rosas is one of the most well-respected and well-liked bass players in the business. He’s worked extensively with Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Joe Walsh, Johnny Rivers and many others. When he's not on the road or in the studio, on Mondays you can find him at the “Joint” nightclub in Hollywood, California, where he appears with a band of veteran players led by the legendary guitarist Waddy Wachtel.

Rick, how – and why – did you start to play bass?
I actually started on guitar first, when I was 12 or 13 years old. I thought it was fun to be in a band. Back then, there weren’t many bass players, so if you played bass, you were guaranteed to be in a band. We played a lot of surf music, R&B, Beatles music. Later I was in horn bands that played a lot of Sam & Dave and Wilson Pickett.
