List of session musicians

This is a list of session musicians — professional musicians who perform in individual sessions rather than being a permanent member of an ensemble. The list covers those who are especially notable for such work.

Nicky Hopkins recorded with many bands of the 1960s and 1970s and inspired the Kinks' song "Session Man".[1]
