The Marcus Miller thread....

[bubinga5]

It occurred to me I had no idea who was playing bass on some of my favourite records. by my suprise I found out it was Marcus Miller. Thing is he's so under the radar session wise, you would never know it was him playing and in his session days that's what made him great. He just played it for the record.

 

There are 500 albums out there of Marcus's playing. Please share if you know. ?

 

One of my favourite Jazz funk records. Its utter magic and his bass playing is just.🔥

He’s not that under the radar ! The pesky rascal snuck into my house and scrawled his name on my Sire v7!

Two songs:

Friends and strangers 

Rio funk 

 

I don't like his solo work, but as a sideman he plays the right notes.

I'm not a huge fan of his slap all of the time.  3 Deuces is fantastic. Thankyou I will check those out.

From 1985, I really love how he approaches this track…

I first heard Marcus on that Dave Grusin album, 'Mountain Dance', back in 1979. About that time, I also heard him on 'Streamline' by Lenny White:

Playing Koko at Camden on 12 July. It’s 5:30 doors. Mr Miller must be at the stage of wanting his bed…

I believe he plays a Sadowsky 5 string on this.
