Marcus Miller (born June 14, 1959 in New York) is a jazz musician, composer and producer, perhaps best known as a bass guitarist with Miles Davis and David Sanborn. Miller is classically trained as a clarinetist, and also plays bass clarinet, keyboards, saxophone, and guitar, and is a capable singer.

Miller’s proficiency on his main instrument, the electric bass, is generally very well regarded. Not only has Miller pioneered the continuing development of a technique known as “slapping”, but his fretless bass technique has also served as an inspiration to many, and has taken the fretless bass into musical situations and genres previously unexplored with the electric bass of any description.

@Hupcio: "Blast" is the opening of MM's "Free". It's totally ehr... ehr... groovy jazzy funky ehr... something. If he'd play it live on October 1st 2008 I think I start to cry.

One of my best friends totally fucked me over. He went to see Miller with Stanley Clarke and Victor Wooten in New York and said he was trying to invite me but I wasn't online at the time. I guess phones are extinct these days, huh? Fuck, I was so disappointed. But, he did bring back the new album, and I like it a lot.
