Three very good friends of mine have all toured on Keyboards with Chris at various times. They had nothing but great things to say about him and often spoke fondly about him as a musician and a human being. R.I.P.

I agree with all you say. She wasn't transcribing the Bass part, she was jamming (her take) over the chord changes, which aren't difficult. In fact, anyone with decent relevant pitch would pick up those changes quite quickly, on the fly. That's what good, experienced musicians with a strong ear do. I will add, I think she is a very good musician all round.

Chester Thompson - As well as his Tower of Power and Santana days, he has been on the road with his own bands and trios: And I was going to mention his solo @14:00 on this live TOP gig, when Rocco drops out, leaving Chester and the Pedals. But all the shenanigans are good!!

I've seen Chris play live a couple of times (a while back now), and apart from his ridiculous skills, he really gets into it. It tired me out just watching him. 😁 But, when he plays Arco, he can be very gentle and subtle. That's the thing with him, he's very versatile with obvious classical training. He's a very driving player (on both upright and electric). I'm surprised he doesn't get mentioned here on Basschat. But, if you do a search over on 'TalkBass', there are a few posts mentioning him.

Apart from all the usual suspects mentioned, there is Joey Defranceso, who unfortunately passed away a couple of years back aged 51. A multi instrumentalist and superb musician. His Hammond playing is terrific with amazing Bass pedal playing. There is plenty on YouTube and definitely worthy of a mention on the OP's list:

Cyndi Lauper quite often does a stripped back version of her own 'Time After Time'...
