Lee Ritenour ft. Marcus Miller - Rio Funk

[@joegridl]

I played this for my university audition in 2006... Listened to it for the first time in many years... amazing.

[@mihas101]

Marcus is a beast what a wicked bass solo !!!

[@antanglin41]

i remember practicing this bass line when it came out years ago.i still play it today..thanks marcus..its rio funky

[@Luke-ot6mk]

The best slap instrumental music ever!

[@charlesmccauley164]

I always loved this Kickin’ tune- For once and for all, it’s Mr. Miller playing; bonafide and hellafide!!

[@nihilusJ90]

What a sound! What a duo! Outstanding... I wanna move when I hear this song...

[@ChicotAlainVenturachic161]

Une association très réussie de ces deux maîtres de la fusion. Bravo !!

[@lx7x7xl]

I completely wore down my cassette copy of this back in the early '80's. It also had been a very long time since my last listen.

[@lal11060]

Amazing Marcus Miller. A little bit of information: The painting of Marcus Miller (2:27 to 2:40) in an oil on canvas by the great Luis Fuster (Alcoi, Valencia, Spain). Is based in one of my photographs of Marcus at the Vitoria-Gasteiz Jazz Festival 1998.

[@thedude4080]

Sorry, but the bassplayer on this one is called Anthony Jackson ! A true pioneer on the 5-stringer. I don't mean MM isn't a good bassplayer, but give the real artist full credit, please.

[@saburivideo]

​@@thedude4080 nope this track was written and played by MM but Marcus and Ritenour have gone separate ways and although written MM cannot play the track anymore.

[@piobridge]

WTF! This is the song i'm looking for ... a long!!!!

[@vekkerandras]

1:45 -- this part was used as end titles of the TeleSport (Sports TV- program) in Hungary :)

[@fabiolg6719]

That`s awesome!

[@franksabo7751]

[@florenciojr.balane2677]

Yes, yes, yes, Marcus Miller, number 0NE. I have a brother in California, who happens to be a bass player. He said that he finally met his influence. Jazz it up.

[@Markus2829]

Marcus Miller einfach Super!Ich sah ihn in Montreux in den 80iger. Er spielte mit Miles Davis! Nachher traf ich ihn in der Montreux Casino Bar.

[@pforpappu]

Haven't listen to these two for many years. Listening to them now has brought bacl some excellent memories. Thanks for this.

[@belou20111]

Je viens te voir à Marseille en mars pour la énième fois toujours au top

[@Kaanthan]

damn, this is too much for me to handle :D A great track by a great man and his crew!

[@kingy231]

This is my cup of tea

[@boneuhfide]

picture with marcus and the soprano sax is awesome.

[@80smusicremixes]

Love! Love! Love! Marcus Miller :)

[@nikolaosmosxakis3395]

both very very good.............................................

[@RFDlic]

When I was dj, I always give the solo +6dB. So that even simple brains catch the genius of this MMiller solo. Today noone thinks stuff like that is dancable. ...oompz...oomps....oompz...oomps... (yeah, that's working, give the beat with a big hammer, because technos forget the beat between two and four, if the three ist syncopated)

[@nsbqsu]

fantastic funk drum♡

[@noinwe]

That is definetly Marcus on bass. he actually wrote & produce this track for Ritenour. This was back in the early 80's, before marcus established his signiture sound.

[@rbnbassguitr]

Gonna see him :) 6december, groningen holland! F*** Yeah!!

Marcus is a great bass player. Abe is a great bass player. Lee is a great guitarist. Abe can play whatever note enters his mind. Why split atoms? It's great music. Just leave it at that and enjoy!

[@Usagi_Rabbit]

It's Marcus Miller. On this CD version Marcus Miller plays the bass. I happen to also have three transcription books (two are Japanese) and every version lists Marcus MIiler on bass. Plus, come on, this sounds more like Marcus than Abe!

[@PatrickDocmanov92]

@himynameislenny In romania we use eight note and sixteenth note musical term as well,

[@noinwe]

You are correct, this tone is definetly not the Marcus tone we have all grown to love. But his tone has evolved over the yrs. He hooked up with Roger Sadowsky & the rest is history. But not much was added just a Bartolini preamp & a baddass bridge. Now ,it doesn't sound like Marcus tone, but the style is definetly Marcus. Man, Marcus was probably in his early 20's when this song was recorded. He has learned a hell of alot since then.

[@user-bl7ko5ne9l]

long play and bill laswell aswell,,,mr, heartbreak lp and riofunk

[@ozzymoysey]

0.23 reminds me of Ladies Night!

[@MsTexas73]

Sounds like Marcus to me. Yep I have this album as well...it was originally my Grandfather's album and I inherited it. Lists Marcus on the liner notes.

[@seanmillerr]

that's it right their.. there..ooooo s..

[@bassplayingmarc]

i loce marcus miller's style

[@noinwe]

Yeah "mi fortaleza" does sound like rio funk, because "torre fuerte ripped it off. I must say, that bass player for "torre fuerte",was laying it down. But as someone said, rio funk is from the late 70's early 80's.

[@Saxmaster1230]

yes this is the original by Lee Ritenour

[@czendo]

funky :)

[@2HDP]

Well, you are right when you are referring to the live recording (e.g. GRP Live in Session, I own this one, too). But I was referring to the original (studio) recording ("Rio", GRP, released in 1979), where Marcus Miller is playing the bass of the tune "Rio Funk").

[@Qierrasaari]

wowww :D

[@GDelva2003]

@StrawberryJungle I second that!!

[@YapRandyyap]

i'll die with my eyes closed if one day my band cud do this.

Por que esta canción no puedo reproducirla en spotify? Soy de Mexico

[@ozzymoysey]

@PennybagDarrell i thought that! It looks awesome doesn't it!

[@musashi20emon]

@gre68 There is a 99% chance that i will be there too! That sound awesome, thanks for the information!

[@biezan7]

Original Rio Funk by Lee Ritenour is from 1979 (I'm not sure).

[@teryeah]

Lee plays guitar on it.

[@老侯-c2x]

yaa good oh yea

[@RFDlic]

I've heard him live a long time ago. It was a improvised question-answer solo with Al Jarreau. If you think so, I decide to think, it wasn't Abe's day. Al need to decend to very easy melodys, to get Abe to follow him.

[@pedroaltenfelderdias]

lee ritenour

[@wickedjazzsounds2]

this is lee ritenour

[@TheSamygamgy]

One of my favorite bass solo from marcus ever . And this is marcus and not abe. Its on the album festival of lee ritenour

[@DR-cf6ug]

TheSamygamgy it’s on the 1979 album Rio, you’re thinking of night rhythms which is on the 1988 album Festival also featuring Marcus

[@CanalQueComenta]

Yes but the man who aranged this record and played on bass guitar is Marcus Miller. Sorry about my English... :P

[@soundmakerstech]

Que ironia essa música se chamar Funk Rio....

[@MarioBastosmusicproducer]

É Rio Funk. mas é irônico mesmo!

[@fretdoctor7]

You left off of the list the innovator of the "slapping/ thumbing" technique that about all of the bass players that you have on your list incorporates, and that is none other than Mr. Larry Graham

[@DJDrZoidBerg]

dat cowbell.

To Grzesiek Biezanek. Please, let me know where did you find the image in 2:40. The canvas is from my friend Luisa Fuster. Te original picture where canvas is based is mine. Amazing.

[@italopad]

this song has the same sound of "mi fortaleza" from the jazz band "torre fuerte". can anyone tell me the year of this record?

[@ianidinuse]

@appiahao Well, that's if it he even WANTS to. This man right here can definitely play with anyone in this world. Its just a matter of whether or not he wants to :D Cheers, buddy.

[@wesman2232]

me and my band are going to try and play this but I can't find a good guitar or piano sheet music. Someone kind enough to point me out where I could get these? Thanks!

[@MeSyndrom]

@StrawberryJungle True dat, brother.

[@musashi20emon]

@gre68 you sure can!

[@RFDlic]

I never ever heard Abe Laboriel playing semiquaver-triplets.

[@aberturasarroyito7764]

En que año se grabó esto ?? Parece un tema de torre fuerte "me fortalezco"

[@MrPablosayago]

me fortalezco es un plagio al tema rion funk de lee ritenour

[@MrPablosayago]

torre fuerte es plagio de muchas canciones

[@aberturasarroyito7764]

@@MrPablosayago no tenía ni idea !!

[@Deevious26]

@RFDlic lol... haven't heard "semiquaver" in a while... lol... I remember when I was living in Australia they were using "quavers, crotchets" and whatnot... Just say "quarter notes, half notes" etc. if you wanna be understood in the rest of the world...lol Where are you from by the way?

[@jcsgroove]

Don't think Marcus was using flats on this recording...strings were probably just broken in a bit.You can still hear the growl of the jazz bass.They also probably rolled off the top end a bit in the mix.Hi-fi bass sound wasn't popular yet! haha

[@darylhockinmusic]

Isn't this a Lee Ritenour tune ??

[@ktward61]

People are just too damned thoughtless with their 'thumbs down' power. @orlando Yes, this is MM. noinwe, among others, have said everything to be said on that. But your query, your challenge, was legit and perfectly acceptable discourse; you weren't rude or churlish. I can't imagine why anyone would give you a thumbs down.

[@appiahao]

Mann i bet if u need a bassist for your recordings, go for this mann

[@ConCarneBlues]

2:41 jizz face

[@leeahcl6942]

A.bit odd that this is one of his famous recordings while we can't see him play it live.

[@RFDlic]

@CptChaos88 Not all people sign their comment with their clear names. Thank you, RFDlic

[@HammondB200]

was he playing flatwounds at this time?

[@fanqueen]

I would add Jaco Pastorious
