Like I said; usually the R&B and Pop types hire session players and I'm not sure what the conventions are for crediting them. Somebody else around here could probably help you out with that a lot more than I could.

I just know that a lot of very talented musicians pay their bills with that sort of session work and also in touring bands then use their free time for the Jazz or Fusion or whatever stuff they REALLY want to do.
