DunlopTV: The Marcus Miller Interview
Here’s a cool interview that DunlopTV did with Marcus Miller backstage at the San Francisco Jazz Festival. After speaking on his career a bit, Miller talks about getting his sound. The chat offers some nice insight into the bassist’s newfound use of effects and his approach to using them.
In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
watching and listening to marcus (especially in this vid) makes my fingers tingle. must. grab. bass. now!
Thanks for posting brother. I was just considering by some Marcus DP Strings. Have you ever used them?
I meant “buying”.
yo, vinny g! the only strings i’ve every used exclusively (as if i can really play) are ken smith slapmasters (.30+). very light gauge for some serious fonkin’! i’m looking at checking out those ernie ball cobalt .40s. but, with my limited chops i may just settle for some twine. that’s all deserve. can’t jam like you, bro!
It makes so much sense that he can play all those wind instruments knowing that he played clarinet through college. So much damn sense.
Awesome broadcast on Marcus Miller
