a young Marcus/Sanborn

[bubinga5]

One of my favorite tunes of all time. with a bass intro to die for..a young marcus and david sandborn, who is an amazing saxophonist. this is why i love Miller..a wonderfully musical player..and this is how it should be right!!! flowing with the melody..

thought i would share...the album solo is much better, but this is still wonderfull...His slap is the only slap i really enjoy listening to..

Thanks for putting that link up - I used to have that gig on video (was shown on a late night Channel 4 series of Jazz gigs). Great line up of musicians - hard to believe that Hiram Bullock is no longer with us

It's Miller Time!

cheers,

+1 for that. Even got my two kids loving this track ten years ago. Seen him do it live twice now. He sometimes plays this as his opening number. Everyone knows it and it's straight into groove city when he kicks it off. Funilly enough, both times I've seen it live, he's dispensed with the intro solo. I suppose he wants to hit you in the face with it. It certainly works. I would think this track is as much responsible for getting people onto bass as anything by Mark King, if you're into funky-jazz.

I used to have this concert on VHS. I remember having to turn the sound up way high, as it was a such a low volume, and I ended up listening to it through loads of hiss. However, it was worth it...classic Marcus.

He is without doubt the best all-round musician the bass world has ever had, and we should be proud his main instrument is what it is.

No comparison.

I'd probably vote for that... killer sideman, killer soloist.. and always has been.

Also, whilst we are here...how many times how you heard Anthony Jackson not nail a track...?

I still have the VHS of this gig.Fantastic!
They do a great version of 'One Hundred ways'.
The great Hiram Bullock doing his thing.

As soon as I saw the title I knew it'd be that vid. of Run For Cover. Been watching that almost every day for the last month or two. Really fantastic playing and Hiram's little dance makes me smile every time.
