bass players & music fans, check this out!

Bass players rejoice!  Found this two part jam on "School Days" with Stanley Clarke and an all star cast of players all showing their individual bass styles from a Stanley Clarke concert called "Night School" probably done sometime in the 1990s.  The list of players is pretty astonishing.  Some may be familiar while others may not be too well known.  He had quite the band backing him up, too (credits roll at the end of the second video).

Stanley Clarke
Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
Armano Sabal-Lecco
Bunny Brunel
Alex Al
Billy Sheehan
Stuart Hamm
Jimmy Johnson
Wayman Tisdale
Brian Bromberg
Marcus Miller

Some of the best bassists on the planet, doing what '70s southern boogie rock bands called "a watermelon jam".  This is for all intents and purposes, a bassists summit.  There are MANY MORE great bass players out there.  But this dozen is pretty remarkable in itself.
