Free Music Notes for Thunder
Free Music Review: Shake Down The Thunder
Hit: 4 Stars
The supergroup concept has seemed to be the fossilized remains of classic rock; that is until this bass trio hit the low frequencies on its debut album.
Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten have each redefined the use of the electric bass in jazz. Together, they work as a tight unit through defined parts of melody, rhythm and harmonics. There are some freestyle jams, but this is a truly a band that is giving each other space to shape their parts in each song.
The leaders of the performance pack are Thunder, Tutu, Pendulum and Grits. Special guests include Chick Corea, George Duke and Michael "Patches" Stewart. This is a solid first effort and a superstar lineup that has the potential to flourish over time.

Hit: 4 Stars
Already a big fan of all three uber-bassists, Marcus Miller, Victor Wooten and Stanley Clarke, this cd came as a wonderful surprise. Melodic and jazz-infused, the music is a bass players wet dream. The casual music listener probably won't get their fancies tickled by this one, but if you're a musician who appreciates precision, virtuoso performance, Thunder is a must. Fans of David Sanborn, Bela Fleck and Return To Forever will be especially pleased. The magical tone Marcus Miller achieves on his stand up bass is absolutely exquisite. I won't review particular songs here. Suffice it to say, this is a solid piece of work by the best of the best in the world of bass players.Free Music Review: I'm sold !

After hearing about the group and the album I wasn't completely convinced that it would be any good. After the first couple tracks now on the third for me it is worth the money. A variety of funky bass playing at times interwoven with a variety of instruments. All along with traditional solid rythm you would expect to be carried by proficient bass players.Free Music Review: More than just a show-off session

I would have been happy enough with these three excellent musicians just taking turns strutting their massive chops for a while. However, they are too seasoned and mature to do that - so we are rewarded with some very musical and fun performances that make great use of all three in lead and supportive roles.Free Music Review: Thunder-struck

Great collaboration effort between three of the best bass players in the world. It seems that each has exerted his influence on the final product and it works. If you're a bass player, you will enjoy this. If not, this is still excellent music, not just slappin' and thumpin'.
