where are some recordings where Phil upchurch plays bass?


Anyway, some of my contributions sans pics because I'm too lazy

John Wetton (King Crimson, UK)
Sly Stone-some of my favorite bass work is on Riot And Fresh where many of the basslines were sly (allegedly more than half of the songs on Fresh are Sly on bass). Also, sly's replacement for Larry...
Rusty Allen
Verdine White (Earth Wind & Fire)
Billy Bass Nelson-kind of unfair to me that Bootsy, Rodney, Lige etc. overshadow the original Funkadelic bass player
Marvin Isley (Isley Brothers)
Paul McCartney
Charnet Moffet
Ray Brown (Oscar Peterson Trio)
Milt Hinton (Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, everybody) often called the Dean of the Upright Bass
John Myung (Dream Theater)
Jonas Hellborg (Reformed Mahavishnu Orchestra, Solo, with Shawn Lane)
Rick Laird (original Mahavishnu Orchestra)
Reggie McBride (Stevie Wonder, others)
Nathan Watts (Stevie Wonder)
Bob Babbit (numerous Motown and detroit area recordings)
Peter Hook (Joy Division)
Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy)
Cliff Burton (Metallica)-probably the greatest metal bassist ever, or at least my favorite, and in many ways the uncredited creative driving force of early Metallica
Jack Cassidy (Jefferson Airplane)
Oteil Burbridge (Allman Brothers Band, solo)
John Paul jones-probably the most underrated member of one of the most overrated (but still great don't get me wrong) bands
