Leland Sklar is one of the most recorded musicians in the history of popular music. After more than 30 years as a first-call session bassist, the artists who have benefited from his melodic yet rock-solid approach include James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Jackson Browne, Phil Collins, Billy Cobham, Lee Ritenour, Barbra Streisand, Hall & Oates, and many others.
Sklar has reportedly played on over 2,500 albums – not bad for someone who claims, “I never had any intention of becoming a studio player” – and is still doing sessions with a huge roster of artists.
