Just listen you can tell who wrote the songs Marcus Miller is the all time bestFree Music Review: A bass player/student's dream!
Hit: 4 Stars
There are people who won't appreciate this album, but they won't be bassists, music students or jazz aficianados. To listen to the three masters at work is chilling to this longtime student of the instrument. Victor Wooten's double-thumping style is unmistakable; I saw him do it in a college classroom and still can't get it. Stanley Clarke's tenor bass work on the Spellbinder custom is like no other player out there and reminds this reviewer of the late 80s work, If This Bass Could Only Talk, in which Clarke featured the late jazz-tap dancer Gregory Hines. Having a tap-dancer on a record was unheard-of in its day, and Clarke cuts new ground again with a bass trio that he clearly leads. Yet it is Miller who is the glue, often as the pacesetter with slap-pops and other rhythms but also as the producer of the album and its main keyboardist. And if my ear and knowledge of the prior works of these three treats me well, it is Miller that plays the perpetual motion lead bass line in "Classical Thump." Even though all three of these cats play with similar technique, what makes this album most delightful is trying to decide who is doing which line.
An instrumental masterpiece. Maybe a follow-up would include Louis "Thunderthumbs" Johnson just to drive the point home.
Free Music Review: Stanley Marcus, Victor, and more Marcus
Hit: 4 Stars
It is wonderful to witness the work of these three geniuses together on one recording. At times, I feel that the compositions are dominated by Marcus Miller. At the same time, mutual respect and admiration is clearly evident in the work. As a big time Miller fan, I don't mind; but I also love Stanley and have a tremendous amount of respect and admiration for Victor. Perhaps it is their chosen instruments which give me this impression. Marcus is just nasty. He carries the bottom and the entire rhythm of these pieces through his playing. Stanley has, in my estimation, always played the bass as if it was a lead guitar. He and Victor demonstrate their incredible skills by occasionally playing in and around Marcus. Their respective instruments are lighter, at times quicker, and appear to improvise and periodically embellish the foundation laid by Marcus. Anyone familiar with the work of these artists can clearly distinguish when each musician is featured and/or while they are playing simultaneously. My only criticism is that some of the transitions within the compositions seem to be a little rough; however, this is natural when geniuses come together merely for a collaboration.Free Music Review: THE BASS GODS ARE SMILING DOWN
Hit: 4 Stars
I just received this CD a few days ago and I have to tell you that it has been playing pretty much non stop in my car as well as in the office. Every single track on the CD is a work of art by the masters of bass themselves. They all bring their own flavor to the tracks. You can easily pick out which one is playing on each track. If anyone knows anything about Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten, it's that they each have their own style and in a sense have many things in common in their playing. They mesh so well on this CD. It's about time that, in my humble opinion, the three best bass guitarists alive today came together on one CD. The bass gods are smiling down on this one people. If you're a fan of bass and jazz intertwined into one, this is a must have CD! HURRY, GO OUT AND GET IT RIGHT NOW! :0)
