Always loved this rhythm section. Forget the cheesy poppy MSM stuff though and check out Gloria’s album from whence this particular tune came - Mi Tierra. Just wonderful stuff if you like more authentic Latin American vibes.

 

One of my favourite albums (still). Chock full of great musicians, including a few Latin heavy weight names.

The arrangements are terrific as well.

👍

Cachao was in there somewhere if I remember correctly?

he could be trying to be clever referring to the fact that Keef did indeed play bass on several seminal stones choons.

 

I stand corrected, I wasn't aware of that fact.  My apologies.

[Jazzmaster62]

I think people are getting confused with good musicians vs good rhythm sections. 

[Bassman Sam]

Greg Lake and Carl Palmer.

[Barking Spiders]

+ another for Garibaldi/Prestia, Edwards/Thompson, Modeliste/Porter, Sly & Robbie but one of my fave pairings is Mark King and Phil Gould.

[songofthewind]

Keith Carlock and Freddie Washington.

Ritchie Hayward and Kenny Gradney.

Tom Barney and Ricky Lawson.

Lee/Peart

Squire/Bruford

*Edit: ooh, ooh forgot the mighty:

Wetton/Bruford

Actually anyone with Bruford come to think of it...

Alternatively, it could be argued that Keith was indeed part of the rhythm section as a guitarist. It's not an exclusive club 😀

I forgot to add Copeland/Sumner, especially the first two albums.

My point exactly. Although he did play bass on some of their great stuff, Keith and Charlie have always been the foundation of the band’s trademark sound. Without either I don’t think the band could function.

This is not meant to disrespect Bill Wyman or Darryl Jones in any way, both fantastic players 🙂

[Japhet]

Clyde Stubblefield and Bootsy.

[stingrayPete1977]

What about the two blokes no one could name from oasis, cold play, snow patrol etc etc? 

[kevin_lindsay]

Questlove and Pino - D'Angelo 

Manu Katche, or Jerry Marrotta, and Tony Levin - Peter Gabriel 

Sting and Stewart Copeland - The Police

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr - The Beatles

Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr - U2

Geddy Lee and Neil Peart - Rush

John Deacon and Roger Taylor - Queen

Ooh, I raise you Pino and Steve Jordan with John Mayer, but then hey, this isn't a competition 😎

[Stub Mandrel]

Mitch and Noel 🙂

Anthony Jackson & Steve Gadd.

Very good point about the rhythm section not being confined to us and the tub thumpers. I always play well with one of my fave drumming buddies, by well I mean I play less because I'm playing with him and it's what we're doing together that benefits the band. However I also have another friend, a rare gem who is a rhythm guitarist through and through. Sure he can solo but get this - he doesn't want to! He loves locking down the rhythm and when the three of us are together my oh my. It's a powerful engine.

[Strawbs664]

Oooh! How about Martin Turner & Steve Upton?

[Graham56]

The Jam at their best - all three of them.
