You’re absolutely right, of course, @PamPurrs, and it is amazing to see where their names pop up!
On the other hand, I am not known to listen to stuff that is in heavy rotation on the radio, which is another “excuse” why it took me a while to even become aware of Sklar’s and Kaye’s body of work.
Another one like them is Nathan East.
Oh, and for @juli0r: one of my very first posts in here was this one, where I (I guess) tried to impress the rest with my prior knowledge of bass players:
It would be interesting to hear how many of these names you’ve heard of before (or some of their music) - my guess is not many And, very importantly, there is absolutely no evaluation of you, and your knowing or not knowing these people, associated with this “silly quiz”!!!
