You're right about that bassline! I love the full, round but tight tone. You might like Richard Bona and Linley Marthe, both of whom played with Joe Zawinul's

  Yeah. Michael Henderson on bass. He was only 19-20 at the time of that record. One aspect I love about Miles is his eye for talent, and his openness to switching it up and bringing in new players of diverse background. I forget who, but one of the 'Dark Magus' era players is on record describing how Miles would just throw in some wildcard players to keep everyone fresh and on their toes. I believe 'Dark Magus' itself features two players who had not played with Miles prior that gig and didn't know each other. Imagine that! Your first time (ever) playing with Miles is on stage at Carnegie Hall with a band who's never played with you. Talk about trial by fire.

    I think it was in his biography. They had some disagreement about money with one of the players. The guy was out and a new young guy came in as a replacement directly to the gig. Man, I love that live, and all the music from that period of Miles' career. On The Corner is one of my favorite albums of all time.
