Hi skylar, thanks! :)

Very cool! Stanley Banks, IIRC. "Six To Four" is my favourite from this album. Guitarist Phil Upchurch plays bass on that track. BAD BENSON, an album or 2 before BREEZIN', was the 1st Jazz album I bought with my own coin. Great line-up...Ron Carter on URB, Steve Gadd, Kenny Barron, Airto. Phil Upchurch plays electric bass on "Full Compass". It's like a bass etude.

Wow, what an exercise in playing every possible combination of eighth note rhythm, especially on the two chord vamps. Every two bar phrase was different! An encyclopedia of bass fills in a single song! And as far as I noticed one slight timing error at 3:18. I'm guessing it might have taken a few goes to play through it correctly in one take. I had to rewind dozens of times.
