bubinga5 Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 (edited) Fantastic interview with the master. This is up for debate as usual of course. I really do love this guys manner and the way he comes across. Then you get to his playing. Edited January 1, 2023 by bubinga5 6 2 Quote
ambient Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 I’m not a fan of his music. The guy's an absolute genius though. 2 Quote
yorks5stringer Posted January 1, 2023 Author Posted January 1, 2023 Hi hats did get a mention.... Quote
TheGreek Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Just finished watching it (on the telly) - so approachable and down to Earth. Inspirational doesn't cover this....Nice one Scott. Quote
scalpy Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Great interview. His first statement made me smile- biggest lesson in the whole thing. Scott did really well too understandably fanboi-ing a bit but his questions generated some good talking points. Loved the anecdote about Jaco’s wife! Quote
JPJ Posted January 1, 2023 Posted January 1, 2023 Not a fan of Marcus's style but boy he can play. Really enjoyed that, what a lovely down to earth guy. 1 Quote
Linus27 Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 What a fab interview and so insightful. Not player I listen to or a style I play but such a great and talented guy. Thoroughly enjoyed that. Quote
lowdown Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 I've always liked Marcus' playing since I first heard him on the Lenny white and Dave Grusin albums back in the late 70's/early 80's. I find him to be be very musical and a top, top groover. He's a good writer and arranger as well with an excellent knowledge of what other Instruments are all about. Scott did great, he asked a lot of questions some (many) of us always wanted to know over the years. Marcus was very honest and humble with his replies. He cleared up a couple of things as well. Enjoyed the video and thanks for posting the link, BB5. Quote
TheGreek Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 What I didn't realise was how he'd played on so many of my favourite tunes. Quote
Barking Spiders Posted January 2, 2023 Posted January 2, 2023 (edited) I'm a mahoosive MM fan. Def among my 5 all time fave players. Saw him and his band live at Cheltenham Jazz festival a long way back. Great gig. I don't normally watch interviews with musicians but I made an exception for this and no regrets. He's a top dude. Nice one B5. Edited January 2, 2023 by Barking Spiders Quote

SteveXFR Posted January 3, 2023 Posted January 3, 2023 That was actually quite interesting. I was expecting it to be ruined by Scott but he kept quiet mostly which is for the best. 1 Quote

I was reluctant to listen but was interested to hear Marcus Miller talk about his career. I'm not in to his music but his career has been really interesting. Fortunately there was no standard Scott Divine jazz noodling and I don't think he mentioned "holding down the low end" once Quote

EJWW Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 An excellent interview. I like Scott and I've learned so much from his videos over the years which has not cost me a penny. His passion for our instrument is so obvious but I would offer only one bit of constructive criticism- he needs to shorten the questions as he does tend to ramble on a bit. Recommended. 2 Quote
oldslapper Posted January 5, 2023 Posted January 5, 2023 (edited) Really enjoyed that. What I didn’t enjoy was the gas it induced. I now want a jazz bass to slap to b@ggery. I have no need for one and no context in which to”slappy da bass”, but boy I’ve now got an itch that only a tube of JB and rounds will sate. 😳 Edited January 5, 2023 by oldslapper Quote
