Widely considered to be among the world’s great electric bassists, Marcus Miller is also a two-time Grammy Award-winning bandleader, Hollywood composer and session producer who has recorded with everyone from Frank Sinatra and McCoy Tyner to Paul Simon, David Sanborn, Donald Fagen, Wayne Shorter and of course, Miles Davis. Miller’s 2008 release, Marcus, finds him mastering keyboards, guitar, percussion and bass clarinet, while holding everything together with his uniquely funky bass foundation. For this SFJAZZ appearance, Miller delves into the vast repertoire of his own compositions including work from Tutu — the immortal 1986 Davis album he produced. Special guest Christian Scott is one of the leading young trumpeters on today's music scene. His fourth CD for Concord Records, Yesterday You Said Tomorrow, will be released in March.

“Miller is a musician’s musician…” JazzTimes “Legends like Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock recognized his gifts in a heartbeat.” Bass Player "His new album jazzes up rock, funk and hip-hop into a fresh modern sound." People on Christian Scott
