The legendary Leland Sklar

If you don't know who Leland Sklar is you should.  His list of studio and live work is too long for this blog so I will start with some of the biggies.   He is a great player with much of what we strive to demonstrate in our work, great sound, taste and chops. 

With James Taylor in 1971



With Phil Collins in 1990, killer chops in this one.



With Toto.  Good luck finding a band with just two guys like Steve Lukather and Leland, let alone the rest of this outfit.  Toto is packed with musicians that know how to make great music with chops and taste. 



Just hanging out in a music store.  Killing it.



Here's an interview with Leland and Waddy Wachtel, another studio (and live) legend you should know about.
