Original Bio Insert Transcript

“ “A lot of people think the Section is a studio band - that is, we back people up as the Section. This has never been true. Rarely do the four of us perform together for anyone else.” // In and Out of Lifetimes // Danny Kortchmar, guitarist, is perhaps the most experienced of the four. Paul Rothchild enticed him to LA several years ago to add spark to the fast-fading Clear Light. After that band’s electricity failed, he turned his talents to the studio trade, until Carole King offered him a job touring with her on her first, fateful tour. Afterwards Danny and two of the band members formed Jo Mama and subsequently toured with James Taylor, opening each concert, then backing the famous Taylor during his set. Danny’s appeared on every Warner Bros. James Taylor album, Carole’s “Tapestry” and, of course, many others. Taylor’s last back-up band just happened to be a group of studio musicians who all knew each other and James too, and decided to stay together and become the Section. // Painting in Bass // Lee Sklar had first met James Taylor when James was unknown, hawking his songs where he could. Lee was in a band, one of the members of which knew James previously. Lee is LA all the way - born here, laid back, very hairy, schooled at San Fernando Valley State in art and music. He once brought his band into one of his painting classes, and the rest of the class were to portray them in watercolors. Lee’s bass has a lot of red-brown, oaken flavor, with splashes of blue and green. If you want to be killed colorfully with bass playing, listen to Lee. // Natural Fall // Russ Kunkel is soft spoken. Born in Pennsylvania, moved to LA when he was 10. Played a lot of garage bands and one popular club band that got it together for several years in Hollywood. Started doing demo sessions at $15 a song or $25 a session. “Playing the studios brings you into contact with a lot of people over the years. After a while the Section just naturally fell together.” There are those in the know who are willing to praise Kunkel’s drumming outrageously. And all those out of the know, and just familiar with the Section’s music, would be willing to comply. // Cartoon Keyboards // Craig Doerge was born in Cleveland. Schooled at Trinity College in Hartford, Ct. Played in a college band. Moved to LA and just hung out - driving trucks, selling pianos. Got his first break at Quantum Recorders in Torrance playing keyboards on cartoon sessions. “Jim Keltner and some others were in that band. It was a hell of a cartoon band. I did some cartoon work not more than a year ago, as a matter of fact. I just heard us the other day on the Fat Albert cartoon show.” Craig is pursuing a solo career parallel to the Section (as is Danny - one album, “Kootch”, just released on WB) and is currently working on his own album. On this album Craig plays some synthesizer and Mellotron. Anything with keys he’ll play, and quite well. Craig is the fourth consummate musician in the Section.”.
