Hit: 4 Stars
The electric bass guitar never sounded so good. Anybody that is a sucker for it should know the name Marcus Miller. With more than 30 years in the business and a portfolio that includes extensive work with people like Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, and David Sanborn, Marcus Miller has also managed a formidable solo career that spans the last 20+ years as well. And his latest release, simply titled Marcus, is a welcome addition to his discography. The brazen yet groovy flow of the album opener "Blast!" will certainly get the party going if it's not already. "Funk Joint" is a carefully-timed offering that serves up a slightly bouncy rhythm to nod your head to. The prominence of Corinne Bailey Rae's singing coupled with David Sanborn's brilliance on the sax prove to be the right mix on the cover of Deniece Williams' "Free." He continues his journey to the past with a thumping rendition of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground." Bluesman Keb Mo' does his thing with "Milky Way," while the interlude "Pluck" runs like an actual track. Lalah Hathaway lends her vocals for the jazz cover of Robin Thicke's "Lost Without You," a great attempt at drawing in today's younger generation. The spoken word version of the song closes the album and features actress Taraji P. Henson. Speaking of spoken word, Marcus enlists Russell Simmons' Def Poetry's own Shihan the Poet for the track "Cause I Love You." Lalah Hathaway shows up again for the smoothed out melody "Ooh." He goes full instrumentation on the stirring ballad "When I Fall In Love," the melodic "Strum," and the subdued Miles Davis cover "Jean Pierre." He closes with his interpretation of Tower of Power's "What Is Hip?" featuring David Sanborn and the aforementioned spoken word version of "Lost Without You." If you're a newcomer to the musical offerings of this Grammy Award-winning artist, Marcus is a good starting point.
