SMV - Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, & Victor Wooten

Check out this performance by three modern jazz bass greats.  SMV, featuring Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten.  This show is based on a record the three of them did entitled "Thunder".  Will put that one someplace in the Spotify Sunday listing in the near future. Notice that some of the tunes with more intriguing arrangements, have Clarke playing his upright bass, and Marcus Miller doubles on bass clarinet. 

Lee Ritenour & Dave Grusin Live at Java Jazz Festival 2013

Check out this performance by Lee Ritenour and Dave Grusin at the Java Jazz Festival in Jakarta, Indonesia that took place this year.  This is good.  Melvin Davis is on bass, and Sonny Emory on drums, are the rhythm section.

The Marshall Tucker Band "King of The Delta Blues"

Here is a song written in tribute to Robert Johnson on what would be his 102nd birthday.  A modern iteration of the Marshall Tucker Band recorded this song for an album from 2004 that was blogged here, called "Beyond The Horizon".  Lead singer Chris Hicks, has also played this tune with his own band, the Chris Hicks Band.  Happy Birthday, Robert Johnson.  Rest In Peace.

Joe Zawinul & Wayne Shorter duet

A moving duet on "In A Silent Way" featuring Joe Zawinul and Wayne Shorter, shortly before Zawinul's passing in 2007.  These two were very significant in jazz with their own careers (Wayne Shorter, still is), and in working together for a long time, between being in Miles Davis' band in the late '60s and early '70s, and from there, going on to form Weather Report in 1970, and being constant collaborators in that band throughout it's 16 year history, between 1970 and 1986.  Rest In Peace, Joe Zawinul.
