TANC - I just read an article today in the latest issue of Rolling Stone (Jon Hamm on the cover) titled
"The Knights Of Soft Rock", which focused on a group of session musicians (nicknamed "The Section")
who played on the two albums above: Danny Kortchmar, Russ Kunkel, Leland Sklar, Craig Doerge,
Waddy Wachtel, and David Lindley.  It's a terrific read.

Kortchmar, Kunkel, Sklar and Doerge actually recorded a few albums under that name. I saw 'em once opening for James Taylor, who they were also backing. They were good--very jazz fusion-y. Not at all what they sounded like behind JT.

Let's get right to it.
