Marcus plays with young artists, same as Miles Davis did when he was his age (58 year old). When Marcus was 27, he was producer of Miles' Tutu. Giving such opportunities to young people shows real selflessness and character of these two artists.
Marcus is a musicans study tool . The guys knows music all styles . Great guy in person and does not have a big head . Hats off to you Marcus Miller . Blessings!
Usually I just want to listen to Marcus Miller and be in awe of his bass playing, but this stuff is fantastic jazz no matter who's playing it. The drumming and sax-playing are phenomenal and the sound is right on...the grit of that Jazzmaster six-string is a wonderful touch. I could listen to this all day. Thanks, Marcus.
This video not only looks good, but the sound is killer. I can hear a lot more midrange from Marcus' bass than usual. I want to hear him play that Musicman, that's new.
This is such a great video for both the amazing musicianship and the cool historical context that he shares. Great work to the whole band. Nice playing from everyone especially Marcus!
When the trumpeter first started his solo, I wasn't looking at the screen and thought for a second it was Roy Hargrove. Whoever he is, that guy is good.
I always liked watching Marcus on stage in Rotterdam, but this is another highlight of his career and a really outstanding performance of these talented guys. It has got as much fascinating rhythmic power as it has got beautiful melodic elements. Excellent music. Thanks so much for uploading.
This is sooooooo beautiful!!!! Marcus is one of the few that TRULY understands what music is all about. No disrespect to others at all. Was listening to his work with George Benson and Earl Klugh on 1987's (86?) "Collaboration". Sublime. "Groove Setter" indeed!
point of correction marcus, highlife originated from Ghana not Nigeria they came to Ghana to learn "western music" also known as Highlife. thank you guys for inculcating our culture into your music
Guided here by Scott Devine. Now I've listened to this vid, oh, 20 times in a few days. This is really terrific stuff. Now ordered a couple of Marcus's CDs. Looking forward to getting them. :-)
Just visited his concert 3 days ago. It was so f***n' magnificent! One of the best concerts in my life. Don't miss the opportunity to see it live, if you still have one!
Sometimes a chance is all that's needed! Great job MM for all your contributions to the world of music! Especially for opening the path for younger musicians to follow through.
What an infectious Guy, Marcus is, just oozes such a joyous passion for what he does. Privileged to have met him and have been inspired to play bass. One of my music heroes. 'Peace Marcus'. Paul
Son of Macbeth is pure delight Miller's Fender Jazz bass, 2x Ebs proline 4x10", Marcus reknown taste and technique: how ever could you just go wrong? Cheers, Claudio
Son of Macbeth has go to be one of the best songs ever recorded. It's just soooooo groovy. Was great seeing these gentlemen live, last weekend in Budapest. Love it.
Saw them last night in Santa Cruz, California :-) Pretty awesome show, I must say. I loved the "classics" (Tutu, Jean-Pierre) as much as the new stuff, where you can really feel both classic Marcus and West African music intertwined. Result is magic. Well done Marcus!!
Marcus Miller is such a legend!! I saw him live at Lincoln Center in 2019 where he did a set filled with cuts from Miles Davis's electric jazz fusion period. That show was 🔥
To describe Marcus Miller's musicianship precisely would require the addition of a new word that extends beyond excellence! I must carefully and humbly say that he and Nathan East are my sources of inspiration. Not that I have heard all Marcus has to offer, but really! Why is there so much left in the tank each time I encounter Miller's music? Thanks Dunlop!
SOMEHOW this music relaxes me at the same time as grabbing ALL my attention unlike a LOT of other music: think that says enough for it! And I LOVE metal but it DOES NOT RELAX! NOWAY man!
+Martin chacon ..and like a GREAT as opposed to GOOD cook, chef or whatever he's judicious in his arrangements to not OVERDO the singing (e.g.) or anything else so the music, like a good recipe, is balanced & never cloying, BORING, or too repetative in a department. It all comes together in new ways throughout the composition the way a wine or appetizer go with or compliment a main course.
In Africa, music is actually meant for everyone and to be inclusive. Ain't that cool in comparison to all the marketing giants in the music industry treating musicians like race horses instead of learning to sit back and appreciate real art.
@@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN We all have something to do with it. If you treat other countries as source of raw materials, cheap labour force and as a waste land, it becomes "a massive shithole", as you said.
How could you ever get tired of listening and watching this performance. You don't even have to see who's playing bass because there is a signature on that sound. How many musicians out there can make that claim? Only a few and you already know who they are.
+George Christiansen Ain't that the truth. CD recordings generally blow. Totally compressed nonsense that kills the dynamics and thus the music. Studios could learn a lot from TH-cam and folks like Boyce Avenue who put out some freaking incredible mixes.
+Utha Man You mean as opposed to vinyl? CD has a way higher dynamic range than vinyl, you can get amazing mixes on CD. It all depends on who's mixing/mastering.
Un mélange de couleurs africaine et de slap USA, toujours aussi performant il va de plus en plus vers un niveau difficile à atteindre. Take care Marcus

And he played for Miles Davis when he was 19...
and Marcus doesn't beat his wife and peer pressure everyone around him to do heroin
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I love how Marcus is putting young musicians in his band.
Very talented young musicians. In that way Marcus is like Frank Zappa whose band (school?) launched many a career.
Marcus is a musicans study tool . The guys knows music all styles . Great guy in person and does not have a big head .

Who is the hell would dislike this video? SMDH . . .
I love Marcus Miller's legacy.
listening to this piece over and over again, keeps my heart pumping.
I swear, the sound and mix is better at this session than on the album. I always have to come here to listen to these songs.
Fantastique Marcus Miller ! Miles Davis et lui,ce n'est pas un hasard ! Bravo !!
This video not only looks good, but the sound is killer. I can hear a lot more midrange from Marcus' bass than usual. I want to hear him play that Musicman, that's new.
TheBassGojira it's probably the strings playing a part too... a lot of DR strings to me have like absolutely no midrange, that's why I don't like them
sc45470 What kind o strings do you prefer sc??
TheBassGojira True, he sounds particularly good and less scooped than usual. Pure awesomeness in that tone.
Miguel Alejandro Vergara
That's it. I'm gettin some Dunlops for my Jazz.
Michael Fairbanks I'll do the same for my Warwick :)
This is such a great video for both the amazing musicianship and the cool historical context that he shares. Great work to the whole band. Nice playing from everyone especially Marcus!

Lee Hogan… I agree he’s mad!
everything sounds so perfect... yes once again Marcus drop a awesome new album... Feel so excited to see him live next week at Brussels !
അതി മനോഹരം.................!

Just found Marcus Miller tonight. Holy smokes! Is ALL his stuff this good?!
+Ian Devlin Yes.
Not only that - he's also killer on bass clarinet.
All his stuff...
YES! He is a true musician his talent comes through in what ever he plays.
No. Most of it is BETTER. :-/
I've been playing Dunlop strings for the last 3 years and they've been nothing short of absolutely amazing.

Simply Awesome. One of my all time favorite bass players!!!
Alex Han for President!!! Louis Cato for Minister of Riddim! Brett for Minister of Cool!
Marcus - Emperor Groove Setter for Life!

Just seen him in Montreux a couple of weeks ago, he is awesome and his bandmates are incredibly gifted as well, would go again :)

Had the pleasure of watching/meeting these guys this past weekend in Indianapolis. Sick players.

My favourite is always Alex .... His play ....HUGE ....

Marcus is a "BAD" man! Got tickets, can't wait.
hearts of to the drummer wonderful playing.......great interpretation of the music man.....love the vybz
My respect for this guy grows every time i hear him.
The man is the best, his music is very inspiring. I bought a bass a few months ago and I definitely want to play more. Thank you.

Great music...!!! I love this band and particularly Marcus as a bass player... He's a legend.
Thank u Marcus 4 coming 2 Hamburg. We love u and u r New Album
Love when marcus plays fingerstyle.

Too bad Africa's a massive shithole in all other aspects.

The beginning of the first one, Hylife, reminds me of Under The Bridge by RHCP
Everything about this is absolutely fantastic.
Marcus is an amazing all round musician, love to hear him play.
saw him play in southbank this year. Amazing.
Toujours aussi exceptionnel! Bravo!
Wow, that was awesome! Imho also the guitar player has improved a lot since the first years with Marcus.
White Jay-Z killing it on keys
+nZymes LOL White Jay-Z
Hahhahahaha!
Lmbo!!
Sax man is killing it! :)
Impressive! That Marcus Miller is a bit special! Awesome stuff!
What a vibe!! thx so much for sharing this experience
Exelentes musicians... A pleasure !!!!
This is like a user guide: How to Make Love with the Music?
Maja Redzic Brilliant observation!!!!!!!!!
Smoooooth! Marcus Miller’s style should be its own genre! Damn he’s good!
How could you ever get tired of listening and watching this performance. You don't even have to see who's playing bass because there is a signature on that sound. How many musicians out there can make that claim? Only a few and you already know who they are.
I love this!!!! Two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Master at work... I bow to the lord of groove and funk
Dunlop does two things very well:
- Picks;
- Dunlop session videos.
I wish the album mix was this good.
+George Christiansen
Ain't that the truth. CD recordings generally blow. Totally compressed nonsense that kills the dynamics and thus the music. Studios could learn a lot from TH-cam and folks like Boyce Avenue who put out some freaking incredible mixes.
Utha Man it's not necessarily that it is compressed too much, but it sounds like smooth jazz production, which I hate.
+Utha Man You mean as opposed to vinyl? CD has a way higher dynamic range than vinyl, you can get amazing mixes on CD. It all depends on who's mixing/mastering.
+samcooke343 Agree. Most heavily compress the CD mix and squeeze the life out of the music.
This is great music. Marcus Miller is a very good bass player. Dunlop sessions is a good thing.
Congrats to Rebekah and Myles also .... Great job ! Great SOUND !!!
Pure class.
Thank you.
Fantastic!
Incrivel. B's River a melhor. Son of Macbeth épico. 2023 Brasil
lindas melodias!!!!
Un grand bravo aux musiciens qui accompagnent Marcus Miller. Qu'ils sont brillants tous ! sublime !!
Bangin' track. Played when I was 13, nothing much but now I have to catch up. Love this track.
@caprice.t we're getting there!!
GOSH the kick drum sounds so damn nice in this mix!
Marcus Miller 2015. Absolutely amazing ioi
Also sounded nice on the new drummer "Louis Cato".
Marcus, as always, has done it again. Killer video!
SOOOOO AWESOME! LOUIS CATO IS LIKE OHHH JEEESSSS!!!
This is SOOOO good
Wow a I hear about is Wooten but this is my first time hearing Marcus and I'm must say he sounds better. Not as flashy but the music moves me more.
Agree. My uncle turned me on to Marcus Miller, I’ve heard some Victor Wooten, he’s great but I prefer Marcus.
Awesome they should keep up the good work.😃😀😃😀😃😃😀😃😀
Forever AWESOME!
Un mélange de couleurs africaine et de slap USA, toujours aussi performant il va de plus en plus vers un niveau difficile à atteindre.
Take care Marcus
Isn't the production crew overdoing the lens flare a little bit? At some moments there's like a good 10-15 seconds of staring into a lightbulb.
I keep having the feeling of listening to Alune Wade! 🎶🎵 Did Marcus wrotte this album before or after their enconter? 🤔
Love the chords on Hylife!!!!!
on les a vu à l'ile de la réunion, trop bon ... merci... bienvenu chez nous et revenez vite... 1aout 2015. (brigitte et ery)
This is just insane...... Respect to all of you. X
Quel charme chez ce merveilleux artiste qu'est Marcus Miller, et quel homme aussi. Mon musicien du moment.
How epic is this song. So inspiring
This is a great session. One thing about a Fender bass that I love you get out of it what you put into it.
Love the grove Marcus you a born legend.
Funny! Everyone in the band is in a t-shirt or rolled up sleeves, guitarist is dressed like he's about to climb Kilamanjaro.
Maybe he had a fever or something.
great vid. piano player is fantastic
Marcus!!!! Cameroon!!!! Victoria!!!!
Id love to hear Derek Trucks on a Marcus Album!
Hilife is originaly from Ghana not Nigeria,we introduced it to them thanks
The Master of All Trades
Amazing how well Marcus does also in fingerstyle
The tone of the bass guitar is quite amazing and cool. kmd_bassman
Beautiful Marcus !
Loved it!!!!!
GREAT EXPERIENCE
Love how you put the spotlight on Black music history!
5 people are currently repurposing their basses into coffee tables. :P
Sounds fresh!
I wish to hear Stairway to Heaven played by Jazz people...It would go over 3 days...
