Leland Sklar is one of the most prolific Hollywood session bassists from the boom of his career in the ’70s until now. He’s credited on over 2000 albums and has played on a staggering 25,000+ songs (and counting). Leland Sklar is one of the few elite session musicians to rise to the peaks of the competitive LA rock scene. His recognizable bass style has been heard on literally hundreds of hits by Linda Ronstadt, James Taylor, Hall & Oates, Jackson Browne, Diana Ross, Toto, Phil Collins, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, Clint Black, Reba McEntire, and George Strait, to name a few. In more recent years, Sklar has played on projects with Willie Nelson, Steven Curtis Chapman, Nils Lofgren, Lisa Loeb, and lots more. Sklar’s reputation as one of the finest session bassists around is not limited to rock music. He’s also spent lots of time in television and film, playing on shows like Hill Street Blues, Knight Rider, Simon and Simon, and on movies like Forrest Gump, Ghost, Kindergarten Cop, and My Best Friend’s Wedding. After taking up bass in junior high, Sklar was on his way to completing a music/art education at Cal State Northridge toward the end of the ’60s. It was there where he met James Taylor and started gigging with him. They first thought they’d only be playing together for maybe a month; but James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” was a hit record and Sklar’s career started to take off — his very first sessions were with Taylor, and he spent the bulk of his career playing with him. His skill spoke for itself and it didn’t take long for his name and reputation to spread throughout the Hollywood scene. Over the years, Sklar has worked with all of the top session players in Hollywood on many of the biggest artists’ albums you can think of. Most frequently, though, his name appears next to drummer Russ Kunkel, guitarist Danny Kortchmar, and keyboardist Craig Doerge. The Section was initially formed as James Taylor’s backing band to accompany him on his very first US tour. After the success of the tour, the band thought it best to stay together, and released a few albums of their own! The Section continues to make music together today as The Immediate Family, joined by Waddy Wachtel and Steve Postell. Their debut single “Cruel Twist” was released June 11 of this year. Leland Sklar has also taken to YouTube over the past few months where you can see him perform countless hits he was a part of, check out behind-the-scenes content, and more. At the time of writing, he already has an incredible 118,000 subscribers! ❤️My Favorite Plugins: ➡️Waves MV2: https://waves.7eer.net/c/1205870/2868... ➡️Waves RBass: https://waves.7eer.net/c/1205870/2868... ➡️Renaissance Vox: https://waves.7eer.net/c/1205870/2868... ➡️Renaissance Compressor: https://waves.7eer.net/c/1205870/2868... ➡️Warren Huart IR Pack https://lancasteraudio.com/shop/ir-pa... ➡️Warren Huart Kemper Pack https://lancasteraudio.com/shop/kempe... ❤️GEAR: ➡️Stealth Sonics: https://stealthsonics.com/?aff=3 ➡️UK Sound 1173: https://vintageking.com/uk-sound-1173... ➡️Apollo x16: https://u.audio/apollox16-plap ➡️Apollo Twin: https://u.audio/apollotwin-plap Join the community here: Facebook Group   / producelikeapro   Facebook Page:   / producelikeapro   Instagram   / producelikeapro   Twitter   / producelikeapro   ❤️❤️Free 3 Part Mixing Course:    • Happy Christmas! Here's a gift! - Warren H...   Sign up here to get exclusive videos and content http://producelikeapro.com #ProduceLikeAPro #HomeRecording #Bassist Giveaway Winners: https://www.producelikeapro.com/givea...
