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."

Magnificent Marcus Miller
by CoachSM1 on 3/23/15Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5First experience at the Birchmere with the Mrs. We thoroughly enjoyed the venue, the atmosphere, and the legendary Marcus Miller! Marcus Miller has such a unique style and connects with his audience in a manner that reflects his authentic appreciation. My wife looked at me during the show and said " I'm a Fan" Well done Marcus and Crew.... what a show !!
AGAIN MM BLOWS US AWAY
by lollypopx on 3/22/15Birchmere - AlexandriaRating: 5 out of 5MY WIFE AND I SAW MM IN MONTREAL LAST SUMMER AT THE JAZZ FEST. WE LIKED IT SO MUCH THAT I BROUGHT HER TO THE BIRCHMERE TO SEE HIM FOR HER BIRTHDAY. THE OTHER BASE LEADS I KNOW OF ARE AVERY BROOKS AND STANLEY CLARK.. ALL THREE ARE GREAT. BESIDES MMs LEAD, HE HAS TREMENDOSLY TALENTED SIDE MEN. THE BAND HERE WAS THE SAME AS IN MONTEAL. SIDE SOLOS: OUT"DAMN"STANDING. WE ENJOYED BOTH SHOWS. THE BIRCHMERE EXPERIENCE WAS MORE INTIMATE BECAUSE OF THE SMALLER HALL. THAT MADE IT MORE FUN BECAUSE WE WERE CLOSE TO THEIR EXPRESSIONS AND ANTICS.

by alviria on 3/22/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5This was my first time seeing marcus miller on stage. He is fantastic!!! I never knew the bass guitar could sound like that it was a experience in will never forget. The crowd was great however ;the venue was very awkward and everyone was so close together you felt like you were sitting in someone else's lap. Otherwise great show.

Marcus Miller impresses year after year!
by GP3point0 on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5It's just great music - but with meaning and purpose. Marcus always continues to inspire through his music, and this latest album tour is no exception. I could try to explain it, but Marcus himself describes the how and why best. If you've never seen his shows, look him up on YouTube. There are many full-length shows in full production quality. The only thing better is being there live. I cannot find enough words to express how great his music is to me.
Marcus and his new band were incredible!
by Anonymous on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5It's hard to go wrong with Marcus Miller. His new band was KILLER, the music was all the things his music usually is: funky, lyrical, melodic, and complex. The sound was perfectly matched to the size of the venue, and I met a lot of other bassists there (I play also) that were really supportive and appreciative not just of Marcus, but of each other as well. Our server was attentive, the guests at my table (I went alone) were friendly and engaging, and I will be coming back to see some of my favorite artists perform there.
top-of-the-line music
by diegoff on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5Great performance by the band, guided by the Best leader.

Marcus Miller BB King Show
by podell42 on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5This was the greatest Jazz, Funk, Fusion, R and B show ever! 90 minute show flew by. Marcus is one of the best bass players in the world. The band was incredibly tight.
Marcus Miller was Awesome
by PRBajista on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5This show was great. The show started at 7:30pm. They seated us at 6pm. Front row left courner of the stage. Not bad for $45 tickets. Our waiter took our orders and within 10 or 15 minutes we had our food. I had the Herb Roasted Chicken. It was well prepared and juicy. The veggies were crisp. We finished our meal and waited until 7:30pm. Immediately the musicians came out, then Marcus Miller came out and they got right to it with no introduction. The show was awesome. At several points of the show Marcus Miller played on our corner of the stagr which allowed me to take great close up pictures of him. What was also great is he didnt hog the spotlight. He constantly gave his other musicians their time to shine and introduced them by name and gave them high praises throughout the show. Being a musician I found this very special and refreshing. They were very young and very talented. All in all I very much enjoyed my experience at BB Kings and I especially enjoyed the show. If he is back in town I will definitely catch his show. Great time.
Marcus Miller is awesome!
by Sunwaves on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5The show was great!! It very much is a visual and audible transcendence to another place. Marcus tours all over the world so grab the opportunity when you can to see his amazing show!!!!
Marcus Miller was incredible!!!
by VFunky on 3/21/15B.B. King Blues Club and Grill - New YorkRating: 5 out of 5Marcus Miller presented a show that "inspired" as well as "entertained" his audience. As one of the most gifted musicians of his generation, he had all of us witnessing Brilliance on the bass guitar. He also provided the story behind each composition. You really owe it to yourself to see such brilliance live @ BB Kings! Truly inspirational!
