In Memoriam: Da Bass Man Phil Chen
Phil Chen is a well-known Jamaican bassist that I called ‘Uncle Phil’ throughout my life. He was one of England’s most utilized session bassists during the 1970s and 1980s, including Jeff Beck, and the Rod Stewart band, but is probably best known for his later work with The Doors.
