Jerry Peek - always wondered where such a pioneer in bass playing went. A great mystery in the "where are they now?" category. As an impressionable young teen beginner when that album came out, I sat down and did my best to learn his lines and solos. I just couldn't stop being completely mesmerized by the playing and the sound of the Guild Pilot and his technique, and it still blows me away to this day. Nope. Still haven't completely mastered his solos, but what I did gain in trying is immense. He was in my top 10 most influential players at the time, and still, hasn't slipped much since.
Excellent bass, incredible player. Last I read of him was an ad in the back of Bass Player magazine offering lessons back in the late 80's.
Cannot imagine what he's doing now, and what his playing would be evolved to.
