Bass Legend Chuck Rainey on Steely Dan #shorts

[WCG]

Chuck Rainey, Larry Carlton and Bernard Purdie. What a lineup!

[DeanWuksta]

Rick has the ability to be comfortable talking to these legends openly and honestly without being star struck, or he hides it extremely well, asks the best questions, interviewers could learn a lot from Rick about not pissing in people's pocket, just be yourself

[marksasahara]

Chuck Rainey, Musical GOD! seriously, though, he helped make them Great!

Biggest compliment I got from Chuck Rainey was at a Wooten camp. he had each of us improvise on 8 bars. After my 8 bars. he stopped me. Had a glint in his eye and said. Nice. That's mine now. I got that up here. (pointing to his ears)

The story about Chuck Rainey playing base on that song and wanting to put a slap on it and the Steely Dan guys saying no it didn’t fit and then he did it anyway and they loved it is legendary.

This interview was so damn hilarious but also insightful!

It’s so good to see Chuck. He looks good and I hope he’s doing well. 😊❤

Chuck is an absolute legend. God bless him.

Steely Dan, when I hear the groups name the first thing that comes to mind is "BASS". Great sounds.

Aja is in my top 5. Love that album! This gentleman is a legend!

I'm in awe! Mr. Rainey! Steely Dan! My fave music YouTuber Nick Beato! 10 seconds of bliss!

Looking forward to this. There's some unbelievably good bass playing on The Royal Scam, one example of which is "Don't Take Me Alive". The bass gets busy in exactly the right places and everything fits like a hand in a glove.

A great Influence, A Legend, A Master Bassist and Musician.

Chuck is the natural extension of James Jamerson. two of the best that ever laid down a groove.

Mr. Rick, these shorts are great teasers. Keep them coming.

[kabongpope]

Oh man, I can't wait for the full video, Chuck is the man!

[shaynealdana]

I immediately looked for the video. Can't wait to see this.

[ChipTingle]

So looking forward to this, Rick! Continued gratitude to you and your crew!

God, Chuck Rainey is such a legend. He and Pretty Purdie were very likely the best rhythm section ever.

[paisleyprincess]

The Royal Scam and Aja. Classic. Purdie and this guy WERE the rhythm section
