The jazz-fusion bassist Stanley Clarke has built a stellar reputation over the decades since his first recordings in the early 1970s. This mostly instrumental best-of includes his highly influential hit "School Days," which alerted the world to his prodigious bass-slapping technique, and a tribute to P-Funk supreme George Clinton in the form of "Mothership Connection," the latter done to a vintage early-'80s go-go rhythm. Appearances by fellow fusion collaborator George Duke and the legendary British guitarist Jeff Beck, in addition to a host of other stellar fusion names, and the inclusion of technically accomplished workouts like "I Wanna Play for You" and "Rock 'N' Roll Jelly," make this a fine introduction to the bassist's work.

There are a fine pair of duets played here as well, between Dauner on piano and Weber's bass on the lovely Kern number, and also "Seven Movements," shared by the bassist and Garbarek. They set the stage for what follows, the elongated "Birthday Suite" that encompasses five pieces -- bookended by gorgeous readings of two of Weber's best-known pieces, "The Colours of Cloë" and "Yellow Fields." On "Hang Around," a trio of Nino G., Weber's downright funky acoustic bass, and the self-designed percussion instrument played by Reto Weber (no relation) called the "hang," are in deep intuitive interplay. The work by G. is not a novelty, but something inventive, utterly fresh, and full of the energy -- especially in G.'s solo. The final two pieces of the evening are in many ways the most satisfying. The full band returns on "The Last Stage of a Long Journey," where the orchestra introduces the brooding and melancholy composition. Strings and the deep brass of tuba and euphonium gradually bring up the tempo and introduce the lithe melody, as Weber brings his bass up from the ether. When Bruninghaus restates the theme on the piano and Weber is allowed free play inside the rhythm, Burton begins to color it. When Garbarek's icy soprano saxophone cries out, it is arresting and rings true. The concert ends with a brief bass solo by Weber on "Air."
