MARCUS MILLER IN CONCERT:
Bass guitar legend Marcus Miller has lent his fast-fingered session skills to everyone from Miles Davis to Michael Jackson, but lately it's his solo work that's been bringing the heat. Taking the stage with an unparalleled group of jazz musicians, Miller holds down the groove for the duration of his marathon sets, soloing in turn with his bandmates at shows that often top two hours. Just to give you an idea of how committed these guys are, their encores often extend for up to 45 minutes — a perk fans can expect as the band hits the road for their 2014 tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Brooklyn-born Marcus Miller was raised by a musical family that included his church organist father and jazz pianist cousin. By 13, he had mastered multiple instruments and begun penning his own tunes, becoming a sought-after session musician just a few years later. As a session player, he worked with a veritable laundry list of legendary artists, including Herbie Hancock, Mariah Carey, and Frank Sinatra, concurrently playing bass for Luther Vandross between 1981-2007. He formed his own band in the early '80s, making his solo debut with 1983's funk-inspired Suddenly and releasing a score of albums over the ensuing decades. Ever the multi-talent, Miller also acted as a producer on numerous Grammy-winning recordings for artists including Chaka Khan, David Sanborn, and Miles Davis. Back on the road in 2014, Miller and co. are sharper than ever, setting high expectations for their upcoming tour dates.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Funky and tight, Marcus' band tore through 2 sets that had everyone in the audience smilin', clappin', and rockin' in their seats."
"Marcus Miller and his band were awesome! The drummer, keyboardist, horn section, and guitar all were amazing. Loved the solos."
"Great show and a great band accompanying him. A three hour show, even the encore was 45 minutes. Not a disappointing minute from beginning to end."
This was my 3rd time seeing Marcus; which is why I ran to this show. I thought he and his band were fantastic. The band was tight in knowing each others next move, that is something that I look for at concerts. They were absolutely GREAT!
Wonderful Concert! If someone from Ticketmaster can e*mail my phone ticket to Jack Dejohnette show I would appreciate it! Thank You!
Marcus Miller alway puts on a great show! His musicians/ band were excellent!! 2 hours was not enough time to listen to his talent and library of music!! Guest singer Larry Braggs killed it, and the audience was itching to get up and dance when Marcus played a solo montage of old school RnB and Funk!! I hope to see him perform again soon!! Venue was tight but not bad l would go again.
Marcus Miller bass player extraordinaire performed at a high level and never stopped during the entire show. I was very impressed with his performance and would see again. Well worth the money!
Marcus is a living legend. Every time I see him it's a treat! Ludlow Garage is a great venue with perfect audio and acoustics.
Excellent venue, knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed it from beginning to end. Parking was easy and free on the street
Althea Rene was smokin' hot! Played the hell out of that flute! Marcus was Marcus. One of the best bass players ever! It was a jam fest!
Marcus Miller put on an amazing show! Everybody was talking about it after the show.
Pure sound. Full sound. Feel it in your belly sound. Had the crowd totally in hand, on our feet, in the groove. Original songs, covers, all the same - it didn't matter it was all great. Loved it! Will do it every chance I get.
An outstanding concert by Marcus Miller that also showcased outstanding support musicians. Still humming those songs even today.
The performers ,the sound and the venue staff wre all great.
Marcus Miller is a generational talent that has put together a small cadre of superior musicians that are uniquely skilled at taking their audience on an emotional, insightful and inspirational journey. Marcus shares with his audience details of his unique personal insights and experiences while effortlessly displaying the mastery of his craft over a variety of both new and older works. He doesn’t brag about it but sitting at his concert the visitor becomes very keenly aware that this man can and does what others simply cannot. So if you can only go to one concert this summer, this year, or this decade, then treat yourself. You won’t regret it.
You just need to go. This was such an amazing experience. Our entire audience got into his groove. The musicians touring with him are fantastic! Just a beautiful night of music that I would hope all can enjoy at one point in their lifetime. We're very happy to have attended.
This was truly an incredible evening. The amphitheatre is gorgeous, with excellent sound and perfect views. Marcus gave an energetic, incredible, funny, and inspiring performance and his band was tight and perfect. Cold not have asked for a better show. Worth every penny!
It was a great show , but if your going to force the main act to time restrictions why are you having an opening act ? Marcus Miller and the audience was just getting warmed up when he was forced off the stage due to time restrictions !
Unlike most shows there with not so great sound I give it a high rating., even though it was mostly instruments. I've followed Mr.Miller for years so his show is always on point.
Marcus Miller was great . Timeless music! Musical genius
Marcus is arguably the best bass player in the world. This was my second time seeing him live and it was an awesome concert. Being a bass player myself I pattern my playing after Marcus Miller. His band was flawless as well. I look forward to seeing him again when he’s in town.
I've been waiting for years for Marcus Miller to come to Detroit. Man I tell you it was well worth the wait he was on 🔥 that night. I hope he comes back soon he is definitely one of my favorite bass players .
What should I say to these things? Can a funky bass guitar player continue to reign in BASSDOM?!! My answer is Yes, yessir and yes ma'am. Marcus brought the funk and more to The Aretha!!!
