Marcus Miller - Power [live HD]

Festival Jazz Lugano 2008

[alooga]

I've heard of "lead guitarists" before, but Marcus is a "lead bassist" who can front any band.

We all know Marcus killed it but let's not forget the guy on the keys. My man was playing some insanely beautiful chords!

[Planetshakergort]

Chills when the Bass and sax play the same lick so amazing! love you Marcus Miller

[Wyss]

This really shows that you don’t need vocals to create a good song

[marktaylor]

Crystal clear articulation, and endless groove; damn Marcus is good!

[ReedBass]

Although he knows chord/scale relationships, not all Marcus' note choices can be assigned to specific scales. Marcus is more about melodies, phrasing and motive development more than scales. If you listen to phrasing you can hear he's thinking like a singer (his melodies can always be sung)

[phillybass]

Marcus is an Electric Bass Virtuoso. All his clips are lessons for the masses. I can even see where he is trying to expand his voice, and his vision, and his playing.

[AmirAkhlaghi]

I once had a dream I played bass like this. It was a wet dream.

[bak]

Marcus is such a beast. He's so good at slapping, but it's not a damn chop fest showing off all the skills in the world which he most definitely has. It's all functional to the song and so musical. True legend and somehow goes under appreciated to the masses here in america

I'm wondering if anyone is like me....
I love both Victor and Marcus equally. Victor is definitely an amazing technical, creative, and enlightened force. Marcus is just straight down dirty, in your face funk. I can kind of see their geographic location being an influence, with Victor learning the trade in his family band in Idaho, and Marcus growing up in the session jazz world on the Brooklyn streets. I like to put it like this: when I want to close my eyes and put a smile on my face, I listen to Victor, and when I want to put on a 'stank face' and head bang I listen to Marcus. 
Thoughts? 

[bolsolocura]

you see it on his face, it hurts to be so good

[PietroRumenta]

The best part of this, according to my humble opinion, is not when he is extremely technical and fast, but when he is simply deep and expressive.

[Jojomusic]

Marcus is simply a legend. There is no discussion about this...

[RyanWashock]

its so beautiful to hear talented musicians sing songs through their instruments. loved the sax in there too absolutely wonderful music

[nooble]

me : what language do you speak
marcus : i speak bass fluently

[MegaCirse]

This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come spinning, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery and the instruments have the roundness and brilliance of chimes 🌿

[eskoriakiebraqeyo]

4:58 that is one of the most amazing licks i have ever heared

[eduardodeiro]

Maravilhoso, vale apena pagar o que for para assistir a um show desse, parabéns me amigo!
Eduardo J. Deiró / São Paulo/Brasil

[abundantharmony]

I feel so late. I've never heard of this guy before, but wow. The whole band is just right there in the pocket, pulling from way deep. Even the sax man fluttering those notes to get that almost out of time swung out feel, is perfect. Even the drummer grooving his drummer heart out. Even the guy on the keys with juicy melody, especially in the first half. A great ensemble right here.

[stephanashkenazy]

Marcus is amazing! Have the honor to watch it on the concert!
