Best bass songs - Part 3

Hi,

Marcus Miller

This time i will talk about a bassist for the second time in this blog. He is a multi-instrumentalist that in the end found that the bass was the best way to express his thoughts and feelings through music. He has a very large work portfolio that goes from simple (or not that simple) covers from other renowned musicians to elaborated original musics that you can hear in his vast discography. And the featured best bassist of this best bass song post is... Marcus Miller.

Personally I feel that he has to much cover musics and does not have sufficient original ones. The next music kinda makes me feel that he has the potential to do more original stuff. However, he is also a producer, and with that in mind i can understand why he does more covers than original stuff. This is just an opinion, please correct me if I'm wrong.

Now lets talk about the bass song that we will hear. I will choose Power. That's an awesome music that is totally made by him, I obviously had to chose one that had this property. This music is form the album M^2, a Grammy award winning album that catapulted Marcus Miller to big stage.

Lets watch this video and listen to this awesome music. The very good news are coming next.

As promised I'm providing you some fresh news about Marcus Miller. He is releasing a new album this month. The album is entitled Renaissance and obviously is a must buy for a bass and jazz lover. The release date for Europe is May 28 as long as Amazon is right. I will write a personal album review of Renaissance as soon as I lay my hands on it. It is already purchased it and i cant wait to hear it.
