The Marcus Miller thread....

[itu]

I saw the gig where Clarke, Wooten and Miller were playing together. To me the whole set sounded lame, because it felt like a set of showoffs, but no songs/music. There Miller was probably the best while backing up his two colleagues. When he started to thumb, the feel was lost just like with the two others. 

 

I have seen Clarke soloing with his band and it was a really good show, likewise when Wooten was playing with Bela Fleck.

I just read the sleeve notes.  MM plays on The Nightfly, The Goodbye Look and Maxine.  The rest of the album is a roll call of the best: Anthony Jackson, Chuck Rainey, Abe Laboriel, Will Lee.  I gues that's what you expect from Donald Fagen (except he mainly uses Ready Freddy Washingotn live now

Marcus's tone has definitely got a little more "scooped" as years have gone by. 

 

I remember buying his first solo album when it came out in about 1983/4 and being bitterly disappointed that there wasn't more bass guitar on it. It was mainly synth bass, I seem to remember.

Loved his work on miles' tutu and jarre's zoolook.

 

My ownership of a fretless sire with his name on the headstock is purely coincidental though
