marcus miller-bruce lee

[@Dragonvc27]

I cant get enough of how marcus grooves. he always uses different styles but holds that old school feeling to it

[@tristanmartin8061]

I love this song !!!!

[@bassplayinfool]

That sax solo was really great, man. He started to explore some really great harmonic ideas without getting too far out there. At the fortissimo part, he was playing some very "Pharaoh Sanders" stuff. I would like to hear how far he can venture out and still find his way back home. Awesome stuff all around.

[@ericbush6124]

He plain went mid evil on the sax

[@corcon5]

man man man!!! this song allways gets me jumping out of my seat and dancing like crazy!!!!! who ever put this video on is a down right genius

[@igorkostomaj7710]

Amazing!!!

[@bavaretzzz]

This is from Silver Rain press release: "My engineer plays martial arts tapes while we're mixing. Even though he kept the sound off, at first, it was distracting. Then Enter the Dragon came on and I started thinking, 'Bruce Lee fights like a jazz musician. He doesn't know what he's gonna do until he's in the middle of it; he fights like he's improvising. That's what jazz cats do.' I went right in the other room and wrote that tune within an hour."

[@TheJugHeadHat]

God that man just oozes funk.

[@dedriclowejr.1088]

Wonderful video. Obviously. I met him also, little time earlier. In 7/18/2005. I've got two videos from that time, in fack I made it. Greetings from Poland Adam Gordon

[@ismite2]

[@francescofantozzi9720]

Amazing sax solo!!!!!

[@THRAPYST]

Marcus was cool when I met him in Cali. Very Strong player. Great tone and control. Lonnie

[@50Stringbass]

heheh, nothin wrong with a little advertising man! btw, i checked out some of ur vids, nice work!

[@meirelesgabriel]

I NEED THIS DVD :(

[@sissif7038]

I love this !!!!!!

[@Szatya08]

Perfect song to symbolize the current position of jazz-evolution.

[@50Stringbass]

its an EWI, Electric Wind Intrument. its basicly like a recorder with MIDI and like 6 octives. Michael Brecker played on alot recordings when he wasn't playin the sax.

[@caemeroon]

poogie bell's drumming in my opinion really shows marcus for the bassist he is i love that drummer

[@villeheadhunter]

5:27 so much attitude. love dat soul

[@viktormuerte]

Yes, but only in the context of the electric bass. The technique of slapping the bass goes back to when musicians first started slapping the upright bass to get a louder sound. The great Ray Brown once said when asked what he thought of the "new technique" of slapping, said, "It's not that new, I've seen that 60yrs ago!"

[@travman102]

u no i like watching him play and stuff then i do just listening to it

[@spongebobfan190]

bruce lee wrote it and marcus channelled it to us mere mortals!!!! say it together now,"Marcus Miller is the funkiest brother alive!!" Him and President Barack Obama!

[@JazzBass7]

That face and notes says it all man, lol!

[@RonCarterBassist]

👏🏾👏🏾

[@whykatera81]

keith andersons solo made the hairs stand up on my back. shit!!!! that note at 5:34 just took the cake for me. goodnight!

[@bassplayinfool]

There has been debate recently as to who actually first approached the electric bass with the thumb-slap style. While folks generally attribute it to Larry Graham, a growing number of people are talking about Sly Stone actually pioneering the technique.

[@net70]

best fuckin bass player in the world! if i had only a quarter of his talent i would be the appiest man alive! he is just legen....(wiat for it)...diary! LEGENDIARY!

[@changpahk6595]

wow that saxophone guy is awsome

[@viktormuerte]

That's called an EWI or electric wind instrument. I think kawai makes them. Randy Brecker also plays one.

[@kasabov34]

Super

[@036MALUKU]

NICEE !!

[@fitorocks]

Dean Brown!!!!!!!!!!

[@travman102]

as a response to all ur comments on this slap bass on who invented it it deff wasnt larry graham. Larry graham was juyst the one who took it to the next step and it became popular

[@andrew7taylor]

Poogie Bell is the greatest!!! :D

[@bassspaceplayer9572]

increible el saxofonista....... como se llama?

[@wsdrummer06]

pretty such is an electic instrument which u play like the recorder but can change its sound

[@bassplayinfool]

You are correct. But Sly, much like Larry, was a multi-instrumentalist, and there is a lot of debate in the community that surrounds Sly Stone as to who actually played what instrument on what tracks. For instance, on the '71 album "There's a Riot Goin' On", Sly himself played most of the parts. Just sayin', nothings a sealed thing here.

[@viktormuerte]

Oh right...Randy plays the EVI(Electric Valve Instrument), not the EWI (Electric Wind Instrument). I don't think Michael plays the EWI though...

[@sjstwrt]

ve2w, nothing wrong with the sax solo, he just takes it to a more intense vibe but knows right where he's at imo

[@Deadbolt_iii]

funky

[@whykatera81]

yes its called practice and find it out on your own.

[@MavvyMaloneTV]

Funky!

[@viktormuerte]

Isn't Sly Stone a keyboard player? How did this work? Sly Stone suggested that Larry Graham slap his bass to get a different sound? (Mr. Graham used to be Sly Stone's bassist, btw.)

[@TBITB]

its not really close to the studio version because Gerald Albright does the studio version. i agree tho neither sax is nonsense. great stuff all around.

[@1337Pwn4g3]

Concert A or alto A, and its part of the penta scale?

[@1337Pwn4g3]

534 Anyone have an idea of the chord and interval being played???

[@travman102]

i didnt say it was the same solo i meant that the there is a sax solo on the record

[@rafaelfreitasmusic]

3:41 - 3:45 haha PRICELESS

[@mssvic88]

can someone tell me what that thing is that michael is playing?

[@groovyw53]

can someone tell me what trumpet is patches playing?

[@bassspaceplayer9572]

keith = god

[@GERmobbs]

has anyone an idea why this song is called bruce lee?...does marcus miller appreciate bruce lee's work as an martial artist or did he just need a name for the song? ;)

[@travman102]

dude the saxophone solo is how it is on the actual album so no its not really nonsense

[@fleamanATW]

why is he so popular in japan?

[@bassmajor]

@rererererererer2 just write it "B ad ASS" and everyone will know where it comes from :D

[@hunterspark40]

Damn! That sax sounds like a woman screaming. Anderson is a hell of a musician.

[@JazzBass7]

@djsmoov316 They're deaf....that's they're problem. If they could hear this then they'd be changing their underwear like I'm doing!!!

[@MedinaAllan]

Whoopi Goldberg playin' the sax at 1:18

[@jimmyrotella]

ah ya funky nigaz!

[@floboy411]

whoopy goldberg on saxophone!!

[@rodcrippler]

fleas income has nothing to do with his bass skills, he is good but the reason he makes more money is cuz hes in a POProck band that everyone knows while marcus miller is a solo instrumentalist that will hardly be as known as the red hot worlwide

[@fenderman615]

cause the red hot chili peppers are on the main stream. just because youre not mainstream doesnt mean youre not good. duuuuuummmmbbbbbb fuuuucccckkkkkk

[@Maverick274]

idk, maybe cross string hammer-ons?

[@regist87]

20 May- Hungary AAAHHHAHAHHH

[@spongebobfan190]

i beg to differ! he's the emperor of the groove! emperors have more clout!!!

[@koshercola]

wtf is patches playing

[@andrew7taylor]

I meant literally, haha.

[@regist87]

ahogy mondod ;)

[@klojo32]

LARRY GRAHAM ACTUALLY DID

[@klojo32]

MICHAEL BRECKER..

[@autoracer1man]

now ...who could do this better than bruce lee himself?????? lol lol

[@stratocastermax]

i think hohner

[@HammondB200]

far from

[@mickstricksful]

3:00 guy came in his pants

[@fleamanATW]

just cuz his sig bass is japanese made doesnt really mean anything...

[@bassplayinfool]

Your Troll-Fu is weak.

[@spongebobfan190]

[@tml1019]

sting is way better

[@davcout]

[@viktormuerte]

That's called an EWI or electric wind instrument. I think kawai makes them. Randy Brecker also plays one.
