Standing in the Shadows of Motown: The Life and Music of Legendary Bassist James Jamerson

~ Release by James Jamerson (see all versions of this release, 1 available)

Annotation

James Jamerson is the correct release artist here, rather than VA, even though he only is specifically attributed to one track. This is a CD included with a book about James Jamerson. Jamerson performs on all tracks; he played bass on every track here, whether or not he was credited as an artist.
