| Nile Rodgers was in the disco/funk band Chic and since then has worked
mostly as a producer (often playing on records he produces).
Hiram Bullock is known as more of a jazz/fusion guy. He has recorded
with David Sanborn, Carla Bley, Steve Swallow, Gil Evans and been on
numerous pop sessions in NYC.

I believe both were with Bowie at one time or another.
Both are session musicians too. Not sure I'd consider
them Blues players.

| 2839.5 | how about none of them | RICKS::CALCAGNI | Will work for '59 Les Paul | Fri Oct 22 1993 15:18 | 4 |
| I've sampled a couple of Hiram's albums and they're been uniformly bad
(imo of course). The word "fuzak" comes to mind (i.e., fusion/muzak).
I hear he does his best work as a sideman (but sorry, I don't have a
good recommendation for ya).

| Hiram Bullock is probably best known as the guitarist for David Letterman's
show for the first several years....

| Hiram Bullock is actually better known as Dave Sanborn's Guitarist,I
would not consider him a blues player. I seem to remember he was
really into the New York studio scene in the late 70's. I met him
once when he was in town playing with Sanborn. I've never really
cared for his guitar playing.....either solo or otherwise...

I thought Bullock would occasionally come up with a pretty sweet
solo, like on 'You Send Me' (with Al Jarreau on Bullock's second
album) and on 'Train' (with Steps Ahead on the "Magnetic" album).

| IMO, the "world's most dangerous band" was *far* better in the first
few years of the show with Hiram on guitar and Steve Jordan on drums.
Steve, I believe was the drummer for Keith Richards' Expensive Winos
band. These two also backed Eddie Murphy on SNL once when they did a
tune at a VFW hall called "Kill Whitey" or something like that. It was
a classic.
I was totally impressed with Hiram's style and sound on Dave's early
shows. He played an old, really beat up Strat with at least one double
humbucker thrown in. The guitar looked like crap, but I wish I could
get the sound that he had. I believe I've also seen him credited with
work on some early Billy Joel stuff, and though I've heard some of his
work on David Sanborn's albums, I thought he did much better on the
old Dave shows.
