Musician's Friend - Musician's Friend Interview with Lee Sklar Pt 1 (5152 words)
Lee Sklar's body of work as a bass player puts him in pretty rarified territory.
An L.A.-based musician since the '60s, he has over 2,000 albums (and counting) to his credit and is a top-shelf choice in the highly selective Hollywood studio world.
That's where Jackson Browne came along and a ton of guys from that period: the Harry Chapins and I mean, you name it, there was a ton of them.
Leland Sklar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (702 words)
Leland Bruce Sklar (born May 28, 1947, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is an American bass player, singer and composer.
Sklar is noted for his distinctive musical style, and his distinctive look: long hair and a long flowing beard.
In the 1970s Sklar worked so frequently with drummer Russ Kunkel, guitarist Danny Kortchmar, and keyboardist Craig Doerge that they eventually became known as "The Section" and recorded three albums under that name between 1972 and 1977.
