SMV featuring Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller & Victor Wooten
(US)
For years, jazz fans across the globe hoped that it would happen.
Two years ago their long wait was rewarded: the legendary bassists
Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten joined forces for
the first time as SMV and played in a jam session at a gala evening
in New York. The jazz stars enjoyed themselves so much that they
recorded a CD entitled Thunder (2008) and went on tour together. Of
course, the North Sea Jazz Festival cannot do without this unique
act with the best bassists of their generation. The American greats
let their instruments resound like never before. With a mix of
heavy grooves, harmonious chords and, most of all, fantastically
musical compositions, SMV lifts the bass guitar to unparalleled
heights. Although the three men are great soloists, it is precisely
the combination of their talents, experience and passion that makes
an SMV concert something not to be missed.
