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.
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.
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 🔥
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.
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
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!
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. :-)
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
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!
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
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.
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!
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!
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!!
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.
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.
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
+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 UA-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.
FINALLY!!! I have found out is that the making of the nice smooth, warm, and fat-powerful sound of the bass(YES! 'DunLop' Strings make a big differences). The main is that Marcus Miller is not using SWR. He's using EBS Amp(THE EBS TD660 Amp)....NICE! (you will see the the amp if you stop the the video at 6:40 )
Gear is fairly irrelevant. He is endorsed by both- just guessing... Talent and fingers are where it's at. Even the signature J-bass isn't really crucial. Original generation SWR amps, the tube pre-amp hybrids, are great- and so are DR strings, who have also endorsed him. The only real improvement is carrying a 3 pound amp instead of a 23 pound amp. Doesn't necessarily sound better
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.
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 .
Hats off to you Marcus Miller . Blessings!
Fantastique Marcus Miller ! Miles Davis et lui,ce n'est pas un hasard ! Bravo !!
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
Alex Han for President!!! Louis Cato for Minister of Riddim! Brett for Minister of Cool!

Just seen him in Montreux a couple of weeks ago, he is awesome and his bandmates are incredibly gifted as well, would go again :)
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. :-/
Simply Awesome. One of my all time favorite bass players!!!
I've been playing Dunlop strings for the last 3 years and they've been nothing short of absolutely amazing.
Had the pleasure of watching/meeting these guys this past weekend in Indianapolis. Sick players.

The beginning of the first one, Hylife, reminds me of Under The Bridge by RHCP

Love when marcus plays fingerstyle.
Ive watched this like 10x already... still souded like the first time :)
My favourite is always Alex .... His play ....HUGE ....
Marcus is a "BAD" man! Got tickets, can't wait.
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.
Too bad Africa's a massive shithole in all other aspects.
@@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN LMAO

This is a killer video great musicians great sound and Marcus gave us a tour with the story on every song. Awesome.
Congrats to Rebekah and Myles also .... Great job ! Great SOUND !!!

This is great music. Marcus Miller is a very good bass player. Dunlop sessions is a good thing.
Smoooooth! Marcus Miller’s style should be its own genre! Damn he’s good!
The Master at work... I bow to the lord of groove and funk
Everything about this is absolutely fantastic.
Wow, that was awesome! Imho also the guitar player has improved a lot since the first years with Marcus.
Toujours aussi exceptionnel! Bravo!
Incrivel. B's River a melhor. Son of Macbeth épico. 2023 Brasil

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
Exelentes musicians... A pleasure !!!!

This is like a user guide: How to Make Love with the Music?
Maja Redzic Brilliant observation!!!!!!!!!
lindas melodias!!!!
Amazing how well Marcus does also in fingerstyle
Marcus, as always, has done it again. Killer video!
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 UA-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.
good video
Sydney,Australia
Pure class.
Thank you.
Marcus!!!! Cameroon!!!! Victoria!!!!
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 music.
Beautiful Marcus !
Love how you put the spotlight on Black music history!
Drum mix sounds like you're right there with him. Also Louis Cato is pretty dope
This is just insane...... Respect to all of you. X
How epic is this song. So inspiring
Lovin` it....Who`s the keyboardist, guitarist and drummer?
Imani Zubeh check description
GREAT EXPERIENCE
THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE MUSIC WORK, THIS IS WHAT MUSIC IS ABOUT. BUT WHERE ARE THE LYRYCS??!!!! I CAN'T FIND THEM. HELP PLEASE!!
Behold! Aliens live amongst us....
And they've hypnotised us with their music!
This is SOOOO good
Sounds fresh!
