Aja was a big-budget production. The "band" consisted of many different combinations of personnel. Certain players made the cut on most of the tracks.

Listen to Rainey's high double-stops (Bar 9)!

Most of the guitar solos on Aja were played by Carlton -- but here Becker steps in and plays a very funky solo (3rd verse + outro).
