I like Renato for the jazzier stuff but not for the other stuff too much. Rosie would definitely be close by for duets. She could be the opening act then pop up from time to time.

Wendy Melvoin on guitar *
Dez Dickerson on guitar
Lisa Coleman on piano/keyboards *
Rhonda Smith on (stand up bass) put primarily I'd keep her as Sheila E's band
Brown Mark on bass *
Bobby Z on drums * especially since Prince sound drum wise was always so much better with straightforward beats
Sheila E on drums
Matt Fink on Synths/keyboards *
Renato on keyboard but also a part of Sheilas of Jill Jones band
Cat Glover on backing vocals/dancer *
Jill Jones on vocals
Prince on whatever he damn well wants

Guest Eric & Atlanta Bliss on horns but keep Eric with the Family 2.0
and have Atlanta back Jill Jones
Susan Moonsie & Brenda a part of Jill Jones group
Dez Dickerson guitarist and co lead vocalist in Jill Jones group
Michael Bland on drums
I'd give Prince a double band

Set Sheila up with an original band that she can open for Prince, yet like with the Revolution she jammed percussions or frontlined it with Prince

and get Jill back but also give her a backing band

Maybe he's changed but Prince never like Morris's playing for his music

But I'd have to keep Morris as frontman for the Time

While getting a good studio/live band for Prince I'd have Prince bring the camp back together:Sheila E. the Time, the Family, Mazarati, and give Jill a backing band, and that way Prince as he did before, can jam with any band he chooses and blend bands for shows like they used to
