The greatest session player of all time?

Anthony Jackson famously said "I won't be outplayed by machines!" in an interview, when synth bass first began to make an appearance. Of course, tech in music has only grown and expanded since, to the point where AI can even compose, but… we still think he’s right and that his playing and artistry will never be outdone by a computer.

(And teach you a few of his most famous bass grooves at the same time). His pioneering use of a pick and flanger pedal on the O’Jays’ 1973 hit, For the Love Of Money, is one of the most recognisable funk bass lines in history!
