if you don't know who he is, the song "portrait of tracy" is responsible for the sample in "RAIN" by SWV (also covered by SUNDAY SERVICE), "pullin me back" by CHINGY and many other songs - its also the greatest solo bass piece ever

he is also played in a group of jazz fusion legends called WEATHER REPORT (he wrote birdland) and played with JONI MITCHELL
