Any player, especially rhythm section players, will tell you that to a great extent their own playing on any performance is inextricably linked to, and even determined by, the playing of the other two; basic rule of ensemble playing. No smoke and mirrors, just fact. You chose Cranshaw as “contributing the most” (in a single situation no different than saying “the best”). You liked Cranshaw. Great! But, I guarantee you that Cranshaw would point to the other two as being one of the main reasons he played the way he did on that tune. There’s a lot more to “contribution” than meets the eye. One perspective.
Btw, Ben Cranshaw is a pro golfer 😊
