	Session musician - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Session musicians are musicians available for hire, as opposed to musicians who are either permanent members of a musical outfit or who have acquired fame in their own right.
		Although the term generally refers to musicians skilled in contemporary musical styles such as rock, jazz, country, pop, etc., it can also be used to describe musicians from classical disciplines.
		Session musicians are used in any situation where musical skills are needed on a short-term basis, ranging from a few hours to many months.

	Health Promotion in Musicians - Congress 2005
		Although lesions of the musician's hand can be similar to those suffered by non-musicians, to guarantee a good functional result of the musician's hand the therapeutic approach cannot be always the same as for non-musicians.
		Although health professionals agree that musicians have a high risk to suffer from professional illnesses, the legal and social consideration of that issue is usually neglected.
		This round-table intends to analyse which are these conflicts bringing together the musician's and the health professionals' point of view, as well as the legal, administrative, and labour considerations at present.

	PAID TO PLAY
		WAYS IN There's no formal way into the session business, though becoming a roadie or dep for a session player, turning up at studios to help them set up their gear, or perhaps being the person they call when they're double-booked, is one of the best ways of getting a foot in.
		Of course, not all session players are masters of their trade: some of us got through by the skin of our teeth, trading on a good sound and a calm but enthusiastic attitude in the studio.
		Some time ago the MU lay down a directive that if a musician overdubbed on a track they'd already played on, they would be eligible for a 120 percent increase in their fee, if they were to overdub again they'd get an extra 140 percent, and so on.

		LA Weekly has a very good tribute to the forgotten session musician -- the fellow (usually) who is not part of any band per se' but who has played with hundreds of them, with amazing flexibility and total professionalism.
		From ABBA to Zappa, the session musician is the opposite of the rock god -- ego is probably not why he's playing, and he will never have groupies.
		For every superstar singer or guitar heroine whose name adorns a T-shirt or tattoo, there are hundreds whose work is done anonymously, or as good as.

	How to Become a Record Producer: The Arranger, Programmer and Session Musicians
		The reason you would hire a specialist session musician rather than use your mate who can pick and strum a bit is simply because a good session musician can project an wonderful air of confidence into the recording.
		Be warned that there is still a breed of session musician that thinks it is OK to place a copy of Exchange and Mart on the music stand and imagine that they are professional enough not to have to give their full attention to what they are doing.
		Admittedly, this is easier if the session player knows you already, but certainly not impossible since musicians like to play, and if they like your music they will probably want to play it.

	Leon Russel
		Although its hard to imagine by today's standards in rock music, before the emergence of a musician named Leon Russell, the piano was long ignored as little more than a background instrument.
		While its true the wild antics of Little Richard, Fats Domino and Jerry Lee Lewis first established the piano's place on both stage and vinyl, it was Russell's boogie-woogie piano style and flowing silver mane that captivated the masses and helped restore the piano's place as a prominent rock instrument.
		Leon Russell has been described as one of rock's most influential forces: a veritable musician's musician who has repeatedly demonstrated his abilities as an outstanding performing artist and songwriter.

		If I was running a session by myself, it was easier to use the living room because I could just put my head around the corner; I didn't have to run from room to room.

		He's called upon to support the big country and pop stars, having worked on more than 10,000 sessions - which have sold in excess of 100 million copies - for Shania Twain, George Strait, Brian Wilson, Randy Travis, Alabama, Mark Chesnutt, Ronnie Milsap, Olivia Newton-John, Lynryd Skynyrd, Neil Diamond and Sting.
		Rowan splits his time between Nashville, where he maintains the largest part of his studio sessions, and Steamboat Springs, where he has a vacation home and enjoys the tranquil Colorado landscapes.

		Guitarist Jef Lee Johnson is well-known as a session musician, playing for everyone from pop stars like Aretha Franklin and Billy Joel, to smooth jazz vocalists like Phyllis Hyman and Rachelle Ferrell, to fearless experimentalists like Ronald Shannon Jackson and McCoy Tyner.
		Born in Philadelphia, Johnson was raised in a musical family, claiming early influences as diverse as Herb Alpert, Eric Dolphy, and Vanilla Fudge.
