Marcus Miller is back in the studio for a new recording slated for this spring in Europe and Asia and for this summer in North America. The cast is Marcus on bass guitar, fretless bass and bass clarinet, Louis Cato on drums, Federico Gonzalez Pena and recent Monk winner Kris Bowers on keyboards, Alex Han on saxophone, Sean Jones and Maurice Brown on trumpet, and Adam Rogers and Adam Agati on guitar. Most of the songs were written by Marcus but he also covers "Mr. Clean" written by Weldon Irvine, who was a mentor to all the young musicians in Jamaica, Queens (Lenny White, Bernard Wright, Omar Hakim, and Tom Browne all played in Weldon's groups). "Mr. Clean" was originally recorded on Freddie Hubbard's 1970 album Straight Life. Marcus also covers "Setembro (Brazilian Wedding Song)", written by Ivan Lins, and covered by Take 6 and Sarah Vaughn on Quincy Jones' Back on the Block. Check out these short clips from the session!

Marcus Miller releases "A Night in Monte-Carlo"
Concord Jazz
Press Release

[Listen to Marcus Miller in the Nextplayer]
Bassist, producer, composer, and all-around musician Marcus Miller has been a student and a leader, a creator and an interpreter, a master and a mentor in the art form of music – from his teen years to the present – with many more miles to go before he sleeps…a profound past paving the way to an as yet unfathomable future. Marcus continues this legacy with A Night in Monte-Carlo, a live audio document of an amazing concert he was commissioned to perform on November 29, 2008 in the “rich man’s playground” of Monaco – a performance of music of his choice, much of it from his pen, featuring his arrangements for symphony orchestra. A Night In Monte-Carlo (CJA-32660-02) will be released February 1st, 2011 on Concord Jazz, a division of the Concord Music Group. It features Marcus leading both his quartet and the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra, with special guests: trumpeter Roy Hargrove as well as singer, songwriter and guitarist Raul Midon. “I was invited by Jean-René Palacio, the Artistic Director for the principality of Monaco to present some of my music with the orchestra on the French Riviera,” Marcus recalls. No stranger to the area, as he has performed there many times AND played there on his downtime as a race car buff during the Grand Prix, Marcus relished the opportunity of sharing his music in the breathtaking and intimate 600-seat Monte-Carlo Opera House.
