Bass legend Marcus Miller and his band perform his 1981 composition “Run for Cover” during his concert on March 15, 2024 — part of the 2023-24 Season and broadcast on Fridays Live.
ABOUT THE CONCERT:
Among the greatest electric bassists in the history of the instrument, Marcus Miller is a jazz renaissance man. A two-time GRAMMY-winning producer, arranger, keyboardist, bass clarinetist, and film composer, he was instrumental to Miles Davis’ resurgence in the 1980s and a collaborator with everyone from Dizzy Gillespie, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and McCoy Tyner to Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin, and Luther Vandross. He returns to the Miner stage for the first time in nearly five years, performing new music and material from across his staggering career.
A wildly prolific studio musician, Miller and his distinctive bass virtuosity have been heard on well over 500 sessions for a dizzying array of major artists, and as a bandleader, the Brooklyn native has found time to release 18 multifaceted albums, starting with his sparkling 1983 debut “Suddenly.” His soundtrack work spans decades, from 90s comedies including “House Party,” Eddie Murphy’s “Boomerang,” and Keenan Ivory Wayans’ “A Low Down Dirty Shame” to the Chris Rock television series “Everybody Hates Chris” and 2014’s “About Last Night.”
