Narada Michael Walden and featured Guitarists (Carlos Santana, Ray Gomez, Graydon, etc.) ...
I was just thinking about this while I was looking at carlcranshaw's Jay Graydon /Randy Goodrum thread. Jay was just one of the guitarists that Narada Michael Walden used to prominently feature, especially on his early albums. Guitar played such a big part in his compositions, I originally thought that Narada was a guitarist, too!

[b]Narada Michael Walden, from Michigan, got his big-time start tasking Billy Cobham's place in John McLaughlin's Mahavishnu Orchestra. In 1975 they did a co-billing tour with Jeff Beck (the BLOW BY BLOW) album.
In 1976 he wrote half of the Jeff Beck WIRED album and played drums on the majority of it as well. So add John McLaughlin and Jeff Beck to the list of guitar players. "Sophie" from WIRED http://www.youtube.com/wa...vLobZeY9bk Jeff Beck guested on Narada's first solo album GARDEN OF LOVE LIGHT on the track "The Saint And The Rascal". Narada also produced the majority of Aretha Franklin's WHO'S ZOOOMIN'WHO? album, and one tune, "Push" featured Carlos Santana on guitar. catch Narada's debut with Jeff Beck on the Grammys Sunday, Jan. 31st. After that they (Jeff's new band) start the tour in London Feb. 13th on a co-bill with Eric Clapton[/b] Music Royalty in Motion | |
