Tuesday, October 9, 2012: TWOfer Tuesday: The "Chuck Rainey Is The Man" Edition



In Sept of 2011, world renown bassist Chuck Rainey (noted for his classic work with Steely Dan, such as this track) suffered a stroke, which took him out of the game for a while.  He's only recently conducted his first interview since the stroke, which you can see here and here.

Just before his stroke he was working on a album, a rough cut of one of the tracks can be heard below.

For those not paying attention, that's a 70 year old dude bringing it, bringing it like most 20-somethings can't.

Or won't ever be able to.  Chuck Rainey is the man.  And one of the biggest, brightest stars in the bass galaxy.
