Greg Leisz (pedal steel)
The word "ubiquitous" is usually placed in front of pedal steel player and guitarist Greg Leisz's name. With good reason - the man's resumé is daunting, boasting spots with Joni Mitchell, Sheryl Crow, Peter Case, Paul Westerberg, Me'Shell NdegeOcello, Victoria Williams, Joe Cocker, Dave Alvin, K.D. Lang, Wilco, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Cockburn, Shawn Colvin, Paula Cole, and the Ventures...to name a few. Not to be pigeonholed in just roots music, Leisz (pronounced "Lees") has also played with the likes of Beck, Matthew Sweet, Bad Religion, the Smashing Pumpkins, Brian Wilson. and Bob Dylan

Leisz spent his younger years catching acts like the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers in Southern California clubs. Part of his universal appeal - which certainly draws on the experimental nature of those influences - comes from an open-minded approach to lap and pedal steel, an approach that casts aside Nashville references. Leisz is also somewhat of a stylistic chameleon: You can't pin down a distinctive style for him because he chooses to serve and accompany a song rather than place his mark on it. His creativity and open-mindedness as a musician have allowed him a genre roving usually not accorded renowned steel players.

During the '90s, Leisz also began making a name for himself as a producer, helming releases by such folks as Rosie Flores, Dave Alvin, Tom Russell, and Lisa Mednick.

Page is the perfect example of the many types of musicians who, although reaching the top echelon of their professional world, remain almost completely unknown not only to the general public, but to serious, inquisitive music listeners as well. Page could have followed along on the trail blazed by the French Jean-Luc Ponty, popular black fiddler Sugarcane Harris, or Mahavishnu Orchestra man Jerry Goldsmith, but instead chose the world of the Los Angeles studios. The result was that he never established himself as a solo player, but remained employed long after the inner mounting flame had gone out on the fusion-jazz violin jam campfire.
