Loved Marcus Miller the 1 at time i heard the song Tom Browne 'funking Jamaica". I went crazy in late 1970s..❤❤❤????????????
yes.marcus miller is the best bass player in the world.
Doctor FUNK!!!!!!! ???? Soooo good he makes me cry tears of joy!!!!!????????????????❤
I was very touched by this “war stories” section where Marcus described how it felt to have played with Miles. Also, your story about coming back home after a very painful experience in a session. Wow man.
Just wow.
I want to rewatch every second of this talk ❤
I can only imagine if I had the chance to spend a couple of hours talking to Steve Gadd or Jordan (cuz I’m a drummer).
My God @scott. I cannot imagine what recording this episode and spending this time with Marcus meant to you.
Marcus Miller is a musical treasure. He has "established" a sound for the bass that is now the standard in contemporary music. Watching this interview, I have to say that I really like him as a person. He is so humble given that he has been sought after by "giants" in the music industry to play with him. To me, he is the "bass".
Just watched Marcus Miller play at Ronnie Scott’s in London and it was an amazing time. All the musicians playing with Marcus are world class and they put on such a good show. Their tour manager is such a nice man, too, I can tell he’s taking care of the guys. And the bass tech is awesome, too. A great group of people I hope the rest of their tour goes smoothly and they have fun and get some rest, soon!
Marcus Miller one of my all time favorite bass player he's on a another planet I have all of his CDs very wonderful person !!!
Man, I would love for you to interview Stuart Zender from Jamiroquai. Man. That man is the one.
The best interview! Outstanding! Salute!

Bro… Abraham Laboriel Please… thanks…
How old this guy now?! Drinking that elixir long life shit…. Oooorr an alien. Probably an alien. His human qualities are too perfect. He’s an alien. Deffos.
He is coming to Sydney Oct 2024 …whoohoo cant wait!!
Showing technique, is such a blessing for young bass playing musicians!!!
Scott and Marcus, what about just finger technique and not only slap?
Recognizing the musicians playing other instruments is so cool.
Bass and snare
Scott thanks. NEW MEXICO
I really love the interview, but after hearing gazillions of "You know what I mean" from Marcus, I guess I won't be able to watch an interview by him without realizing he's saying it all the time ????????
comm me perdi este videooo
This guy is so humble man. He is a giant.
What a great history lesson of bass!!
Gotta love a man that does air trumpets!
