Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

If you have any pop, soul or jazz CDs, the ubiquitous bassist and multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller is probably on some of them. From Luther Vandross and David Sanborn to Miles Davis, Miller has been making cutting-edge music with the greatest stars of the past three decades. On M2, which includes a stellar array of musicians from Wayne Shorter to Maceo Parker, Miller unveils the full range of his eclectic musicality. On the funky, uptempo "Power", Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" (featuring alto saxophonist Kenny Garrett), and "Nikki's Groove", Miller displays his powerful thumb-driven Larry Graham-derived licks. On Charles Mingus's moody tribute to Lester Young, "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat", Herbie Hancock tickles the ivories in his trademark impressionistic style, which complements Miller's Jaco-Pastorius-like bass lines. 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. Raphael Saadiq, the Brazilian superstar Djavan and the legendary Chaka Khan lend their distinctive vocals to the quiet-storm vehicles "Boomerang" and "It's Me Again" and the spiritual "Your Amazing Grace". 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. --Eugene Holley Jr.

Excellent CD! 23 Jun 2001
By RvanR
Format:Audio CD
This is great, mood lifting music. From very funky to a slow ballad. The bass playing is on a par with Jaco Pastorius and Stanley Clarke. The inclusion of the Billy Cobham classic Red Baron alone makes it worthwhile. One word of caution: if you want to play this loud (and it sounds fantastic if you do!) make sure your amp and speakers are up to it. This recording eats Watts for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

Ive been listening to Marcus's music since 1981 he immediately became my favorite bass player. From his work with David Sanborn, Miles Davis & Dave Grusin to name only three of many he's worked with.You can here his influences from Larry Graham, Jacko Pastorious to Stanley Clarke.
My favorite track features Rapheal Siddiq, Boomerang from the film of the same name. Over the years he just keeps getting better, you'll not be dissapointed with this album

This is a slow-grow album that quickly become a jazz favourite. This guys plays Slap base like no one else and at first it can sound hard and difficult to listen to. Within days its softens and you begin to hear the real detail and excellent production that should have all Jazz, acid jazz and soul fans looking for more. chakka Khan, Herbbie Hancock and Joe sample feature making this an oustanding CD with everything from dance, to mood and soul. This should become a classic.
