these guys are my top favorites, even though I only heard them on few shows...

Patitucci is really AAAAAARRRRGGGHH!!! I sure wish Vinnie Colaiuta was Chick Corea's Elektric Band drummer, they sound awesome together!!!

Jimmy Johnson... with Allan H., Colaiuta and S. Hunt.... AAAAARRRGGHH!!!

I also heard this Jeff Andrews... nice soloing...

Neil Stubenhaus with Karizma... I love watching the "Karizma in Germany" DVD...

I saw Bunny Brunel (CAB w/ Donati) in "Musicians Institute" on DVD... but I don't dig what he's doing there...
