	Marcus Miller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Marcus Miller (born June 14, 1959 in New York) is a jazz musician, composer and producer, perhaps best known as a bass guitarist with Miles Davis and David Sanborn.
		Miller is classically trained as a clarinetist, and also plays bass clarinet, keyboards, saxophone, and guitar, and is a capable singer.
		Audible in Miller's playing, along with the rich and undeniable originality, are the influences of some of the previous generation of electric bass players, such as Keni Burke and especially Jaco Pastorius (who himself was only born in 1951).

	MARCUS MILLER
		After playing bass in Davis' band, Miller got a chance to produce the legend, which was, not surprisingly, a bit intimidating for a young man. “Oh yeah, especially at the beginning,” he admits.
		Miller says that building the studio was a way for him to control his sessions better, “particularly because we started a label that my record was the first release on,” he explains.
		Miller's breadth of experience and talent, starting with his earliest sessions, has made him a first-call sideman, songwriter, composer and producer.

	Marcus Miller: Silver Rain
		Miller’s atmospheric “La Villette” will either attract or repel in direct relation to the listener’s ability to enjoy what is basically a somewhat overwrought RandB song that is kicked into a new dimension by Miller’s attempts to sonically represent a collage of sounds heard while living in a Paris apartment.
		Miller’s ability to turn the electric bass into a gorgeous melodic instrument is on full display, as is the very beautiful harmonica work of Gregoire Maret, who has also graced albums by Me’shell Ndegeocello and Cassandra Wilson.
		Miller’s solo performance on Duke Ellington’s “Sophisticated Lady” is his most straight-ahead jazz performance on the recording, even though the does use synth strings and a rhythm loops to create a kind of smoky, romantic modern urban environment.

		Miller's airy studio is filled with daylight, not to mention his many (bass) guitars, tapes, CDs, and of course, music recording gear (see pages 40 and 42 for a full inventory and Miller's comments on the gear).
		Miller's hands-on approach to producing has at times led to the accusation that the albums he produces are really Marcus Miller solo albums featuring the artist.
		However, Miller is the first to admit that choices in the music industry are more and more made in favour of commercial success, and that this is bad for music, to the degree that the music industry as a whole is now in decline.

		Miller has often stated that the number one thing he learned from Davis is always being honest about who you are and what you do.
		True to his innovative spirit, Marcus Miller's next project is something he first thought about doing 15 years ago: a melding of classical opera and modern jazz in collaboration with operatic tenor and acclaimed vocal coach Kenn Hicks.

	Marcus Miller Profile (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Marcus is a ranking slap man. His style is very distinct.
		Marcus is the only bass player I've ever heard who can get that "hi-tech sound" with a Fender Jazz Bass.
		The bass sound is not as slick as it could be, bearing the musical style in mind, but that is probably because it´s a live recording.

		Miller's road band consists of Marcus Miller (natch) on bass guitar/alto sax/bass clarinet, Dean Brown on guitar, Poogie Bell on drums, Bruce Flowers on keyboards, Roger Byam on sax/flute and Michael "Patches" Stewart on trumpet/fluglehorn.
		Miller is not as kinetic a player as other bass players I respect, but he's an amazing player in his own right.
		He usually starts the tune, he gives very clear direction to his bandmates (like mimeing how he wanted Poogie to play his drumline at a few points during the show) and calls solos as the song progresses (pointing to which member of the band is to solo and when their solo is to end).

		It is obvious from the music of his group that Marcus Miller badly misses Miles Davis.
		Marcus Miller's electric bass is a major force throughout the music.
		A few songs (especially later in the program) ramble on a bit and one wishes that Marcus Miller would drop the funk now and then for variety's sake, but in general his set holds one's interest.

		Marcus' Bass Clarinet work on tracks such as 'Maputo' is flawless and shows what a highly versatile multi-instrumentalist he is.
		Marcus Miller was the rock on which the great Miles Davis built his latter-day "church" (hear Miller's own version of "Tutu", which he wrote for Miles--it's on this album), but two studio albums of his own ("The Sun Don't Lie" and "Tales") is all we have from him so far.
		Marcus Miller is a gifted artist and producer.

		Miller comes to San Francisco fresh from the release of his own new CD, Silver Rain, on which his “skills are in almost embarrassing abundance” (Amazon.com).
		A tremendous talent from a young age, Miller was already playing in bands in his boyhood home of Jamaica, Queens (New York), while in his teens—followed soon after by high-profile sideman jobs with the likes of flutist Bobbi Humphrey and keyboardist Lonnie Liston Smith.
		Miller appears at this year’s Festival in the wake of a brand-new CD, Silver Rain—a title that comes from a Langston Hughes poem of the same name.

		Miller subsequently turned his attention to producing, his first major production being David Sanborn's Voyeur, which earned Sanborn a Grammy and turned out to be the beginning of a career-long partnership with the alto saxman.
		Miller further surprised people by composing and performing the score to E.B. White's The Trumpet of the Swan.
		Marcus has recently scored the upcoming film "Serving Sara" (starring Matthew Perry) and produced the group Take 6 as well as the new Kenny Garrett album.

		Gradually, he built the team around acquired veterans Marcus Camby and Voshon Lenard, free agents Andre Miller and Earl Boykins, 2002 first-round draft choice Nene and this year's prized third pick overall Carmelo Anthony.
		The one player Vandeweghe lost out on was Indiana center Brad Miller, who fell into a huge sign-and-trade contract with Sacramento that presumably overpaid him by nearly $20 million.
		Anthony has been erratic shooting the ball, and he and Andre Miller have had their moments of occasionally playing the game within the game of who's the man, but usually Bzdelik prevails.

		Miller's arranging genius transforms John Coltrane's ballad "Lonnie's Lament" into a head-bopping hip-hop groove Dr. Dre would like, thanks to his soul-searing bass clarinet and Branford Marsalis's and Hubert Laws's soprano sax and flute lines.
		With a firm grasp of the jazz tradition and a broad knowledge of popular musical idioms, Marcus Miller is in the centre of everything, laying down the groove.
		Previous albums from Marcus Miller have had an almost ghostly presence of Marcus' late collaborator Miles Davis.

	CONNECT - Marcus Miller
		Primarily a bassist, multi-instrumentalist and producer Marcus Miller has worked on hundreds of sessions -- crossing jazz, R&B, and rock -- and has released several solo recordings since his late '70s beginnings with Bobbi Humphrey and Lonnie Liston Smith.
		Despite the many hats he has worn -- improviser, interpreter, arranger, songwriter, film-music composer, bassist, clarinetist, saxophonist -- none of them have been put on for the sake of the whim.
		Never one to merely get his feet wet, Miller has been a utility player in the most extreme and prolific sense.

		Silver Rain includes seven original Marcus Miller compositions including "Bruce Lee", an homage to the martial arts master which captures Lee’s energetic spirit and features alto saxophonist Gerald Albright known for his work with Anita Baker and Quincy Jones.
		If you are familiar with any of Miller’s previous releases like Tales and The Sun Don’t Lie, let alone his impressive resume of film scores and hit songs he’s produced and written for so many of today’s popular artists, you will have come to understand his ability to create music that emotionally inspires and informs.
		Of course you’ll find Miller’s musicianship as an electric bassist astounding and as always he delights, amazes and amuses with his mastery of a host of other instruments.

		A half-minute later, Andre Miller stole another pass and found Anthony racing up the wing, and he finished with another resounding slam.
		And it's all tied together with the rebirth of free-agent signee Miller, a former league assist champ who proved you can't go home again in a lost season for the Los Angeles Clippers a year ago.
		If Camby is the defensive anchor, certainly Miller is the offensive leader, with veteran Voshon Lenard another solid defender and a streaky 3-point shooter.

	Guardian Unlimited \| Film & Music \| CD: Miles Davis/ Marcus Miller, Music From Siesta
		As a collaboration between the trumpeter and the gifted multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer Marcus Miller, the album was overshadowed by Tutu, its celebrated predecessor.
		It also revisits the landmark Davis/Gil Evans Sketches of Spain album of 1959, with samples and electronics rather than a real orchestra (a choice that comes with both pros and cons), and it was a rushed and budget-strapped project written as the soundtrack to a now-forgotten movie.
		But the ghostly dance of the disconsolate trumpet, Earl Klugh's guitar and Miller's rich soundscape on Lost in Madrid Part V is one of many tantalising glimpses of what might have been.
