Marcus Miller Interview By Scott Devine

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!

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.

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.

Good to hear, will definitely check it out then!

 

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

How many instances of "killer", "wicked" and "super, super awesome" were there though? 😆

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.

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. 😳
