The music from Herbie Hancock’s career can be described as influential, but for bassists, the “Head Hunters” album may take the cake. The keyboardist has announced a concert that’s being called the first performance from the original Head Hunters since 1973.

Marcus Miller performed during this year’s Smooth Jazz Cruise, and while the band played “Blast,” he wanted to give the bass players some love. In the middle of the song, he first called on Nate Phillips to take center stage, and the two traded some funky licks. Next, David Dyson came on stage to add more low end goodness.

Marcus Miller is back again with another killer performance. We catch him in Paris playing the tune ‘Detroit’ from the “Renaissance” album. This is definitely one of my all time favorites from Marcus.

Marcus Miller is definitely on the Mount Rushmore of bass players, and his arrangements are always something fresh. That is on full display in this clip. Playing the classic Miles Davis tune “Tutu,” Marcus put on yet another masterclass!
