Graham Lear and Mark Craney both played with Gino Vannelli (different albums). Both went on to play with a litany of great rock and jazz artists. Both wonderful fusion drummers. Check out Lear's work on "Storm at Sunup" and Craney on "Brother to Brother". I believe if Gino did not have the Italian sex symbol persona (and hairy chest), his music would be more appreciated. Great voice, songwriting/arrangements performed with incredible musicians.

Aynsley Dunbar was the drummer on some of my favorite Frank Zappa albums, went on to play with an impressive list of rock greats. Always thought his contribution to FZs music was fantastic.
