This is for the Record Books...but as you explained...the more you know...the more meaningful this is. There's another Marcus with an orchestra in Europe that is equally brilliant.

[@rosewoodfretboard]

Clarke, Wooten and Miller? My head just exploded. God bless those guys for sharing their talents with the world. It's a better place for them.

[@cooldebt]

Yes, kind of like the bass equivalent of Paco de Lucia, Al Di Meola and John McLaughlin. Unbelievable amount of talent on one stage.

[@lindaenglish8743]

I have a 11yr. old bass player in my home, we are listening to this together, one day he will be on stage, doing what you guys are doing, his love for bass is a gift, he can't put it down...

[@tyreegomez6060]

Wow this comment was 9 years ago I’m curious to see how far he’s come on bass :)

[@zer0-skill893]

I was so engrossed by their performances I didn't realise that I had watched the whole video and clapped for every single player's performance...

[@michaelwakefield1838]

Its so good how even though Clarke, Miller and Wooten are the big names they still let the keyboard take centre stage. Why wouldn't you though, that solo is brilliant

[@kevinmichaelcallihansr.252]

Marcus Miller was writing and producing his own work 27 years ago and while being a headliner now, he's certainly a professional to get onboard any new project in trust to the jazz legends because he is one!

[@kevinmorgan263]

❤ exactly.. anyone who worked with miles , luther , David Sanborn and aretha Franklin late teens and early 20s is definitely the truth. And don't sleep on his bass sax and clarinet work smh

Thank you for all and love who helped mix the sound for this concert was happy fun for me i waching Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller and Victoc Wooten (SMV Concert) is the Best and Better. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOU STANLEY CLARK I LOVE YOU MARCUS MILLER I LOVE YOU VICTOR WOOTEN THANK YOU I LOVE YOUUU🫂

[@scottleeper]

I watch this at least once a year. What a force of nature.

[@louise_rose]

Great show! I remember catching one of their later shows broadcast on Mezzo, around ten years ago, and especially the encore of "Beat It" - it had that place already here, but by the time of the later show MJ had passed away and the cover became longer, groovier, more aggressive - before finally seguing into Miller's trademark encore of "School Days". That was such a deligt to watch, and this is a fabulous concert as well!

[@jh61]

A very enjoyable way to spend time on a Saturday evening. Thanks guys.

[@user-he1pp9gh1l]

I cannot say enough about this performance. PERFECTION

[@xxsayrixx]

All the performance was absolutely out of this world. The piano solo really did touch my soul. The entire concert I went through a lot of emotions. Thank you maestros.

[@GabiPino16]

[@joelmendoza6474]

amazing and wonderful..!

[@kevinmichaelcallihansr5053]

Thank you kindly, Bence Nagy. My older and young brothers played music with Stanley Clarke in St. Louis. They told me he was top-drawer in every way kind, understanding, and a world player among kings. Calson Associates circa 1920 family #notes posterity 🐬 Echo/Ralph agrees. These fellows are defined as quality of life. #smib

[@andyamos8289]

Whew! Wooten!!! When Stanley Clarke applauds you, you know you've done something right!

[@jazzfunkyman6962]

My favorite is Marcus Miller because i grew up with his wonderful music and productions thanks for this GEM

[@ThomasMLampe]

Just the technique of Wooten, it's just amazing, the awesome Miller slaps, wow, and not to forget Clarke, playing his own way, like nobody else can. Love it and I'm only a 14 years old bassplayer. Wish I could see them playing live once...

[@kbprojekty]

You are a 14-year old already surrounding yourself with highest quality inspirations then!

[@ThomasMLampe]

Back then I was 14, now I'm turning 17 in 2 weeks. Still listening to this music and still improving as a bassplayer with these men as my biggest insperation! btw sorry for my broken English, I'm from the Netherlands. Hope you have a great day sir!

Legendary. Felt like taking a shower afterwards. I was dripping with the greasiest funk, the grimiest substance manifested in this dimension by these three wise men. The rest of the band had their own wizardry to contribute as well. Amazing.

This is one of the great trio of bass players with that kick ass drummer this is a awesome group. Have listened to these musicians for years. Kudos to them all.

I met Stanley Clarke and Jeff Beck in 1979 in a jazz bar in Dayton Ohio after their jig in town that night myself and the drummer from our jazz band in high-school

[@eggy68]

It's taken me 51 years to accept I will never be good enough to tie these guys' shoes. There's nothing wrong with playing the groove and having a good time. But man, to be able to rip it like these cats...

Great to see a master (Clarke) passing the baton to two of those who admired his talent and were motivated by him to pick up the bass at a young age. Looking forward to seeing who they pass the baton to and what they bring to the ear.

IMMENSE talent at work here! I had the fortune of seeing them live in Los Angeles during their SMV tour, it is incredible to see the 3 top bass players of all times together on stage. Individual taste may give preference to one of their styles, but together they are truly something else. Let's hope they eventually follow this up with more work together and more albums.

Fabuleux ! Virtuosité avec beaucoup de fraîcheur et d'émotions. C'est un réel plaisir d'accéder à cette music tellement expressive de l'ensemble mais aussi des personnalités de ces trois Virtuoses qui ont amené la bass à vivre une révolution quand à sa place au sein des instrumentistes confirmé, les guitariste, les pianiste, les saxophonistes, je ne veut pas oublié Jaco Pastorius qui nous a quitté trop tôt. Merci pour ce partage merveilleux.

[@DavidPope24]

Unbelievable funk.

[@Jamesmclaughing]

this never gets old ❤

[@StrayLion]

I'm a fan of all these guys. Victor gave my my entire basis for bass (HAH) and Marcus is an all around beats inspiration. But Stanley...Stanley is always interesting to watch. Like his technique is entirely his own. He always holds his bass nearly parallel to the ground, and his index and middle finger do like all of the strumming/pizzicato work. It's probably his transition from upright to electric kicking in, but I don't feel like anybody else plays the way he plays.

[@tkadn338]

Good observation. Agreed

[@smuuvebrotha]

+Odd Kensei ........ Philadelphia Musical Academy training

[@StrayLion]

smuuvebrotha ?

[@quibster]

Agreed. The way Stanley plays the harmony effect in the jam that starts at 18:21 is just incredible. Not gonna lie, it's not even the best sounding effect, but he has muddied the harshness of the effect perfectly, it's just fundamentally well-placed and well-used.

[@leonardostrano1342]

Grazie! E' uno dei concerti più meravigliosi che abbia visto. Sconvolgente.

For me Victor Wooten is the most skilled, Marcus Miller has the best groove and Stanley Clarke has the legacy by his side

all of them are using 4 string basses yet sound so dynamic.. seriously impressive

[@dabble855]

Miller and Wooten have 5 string basses

[@dabble855]

Take that back just miller

[@erickmatthewlynch2058]

No. They all are using 4 strings

[@silverdroid]

Marcus Miller's main bass is a 1977 Fender Jazz Bass, and it's 4 string. All of their main basses are 4 string. 4 string Alembic, 4 string Fender, 4 string Fodera.

[@JustinJaybrown]

Most bassist that will never be Know only play he first 6 frets on the first two strings. A 4 string bass with 21 frets already has 88 notes if you add in the chords that they play that gives exponentially more range then add in their techniques I.e. slap, pop, hammer one and pull offs, ghost notes, fills, walk downs, walk ups, octaves, fifths, and in and on. The bass is a much more dynamic instrument than people give it credit for.

I'll have to check these guys out. I like all styles of bass playing. Some more than others. Then you have Mark Sandman from Morphine who played with two strings on his bass and that was perfect for that band.

[@djbigs972]

kinda different ... and music is not about who is the "best" kid

[@MellonVegan]

Forest is an amazing bassist but comparing someone of his style to the greats of jazz/funk just doesn't work all that well. Forest is great at what he does but I these guys are amazing in their own right. It's like saying an F1 car is better than a lorry is without giving any further context.

[@Rammcio46]

May be, but I'm sure all 3 of them would be able to copy that guy, and being as awesome as you descibed him to be, I doubt that he would be able to copy them. They have a lot more experience, more influences and have played with more different musicians for a larger amount of time. Who is nowadays able to say that he/she has played for years with Miles Davis, for example? Or Wayne Shorter?

Jaco Pastorius, who passed away in 1987 at the age of 35, remains one of the most influential electric bassists in jazz. His 1975 self-titled debut album is hailed by some as the best jazz bass album ever; it should be required listening

[@jeffkaluga997]

Any young Bassists want to know how it's done... It's right here. I always believed Stanley Clarke was the Master. He can literally do any style. I was fortunate enough to see him in London with the late great George Duke in the 80s. Big up to Ms Miller and Wooten too.

[@CliffHuxtableSweater]

My first bassist inspiration-Stanley. First time blown away by a bassist-Marcus (his stuff w/ David Sanborn). The most amazing bassist, in my opinion, not favorite but most incredible bass it to walk earth-victor. KZbinrs may be teaching Vic’s techniques like it’s nothing nowadays but there was a good 10 years around the late eighties into 90s where Vic was a myth. He much older now and we know how that goes but even if you listen here to his solos, the timing and cleanliness of everything he did rings out. Unbelievable.
