S.M.V./Stanley Clarke (Double Bass): Stanley Clarke (acoustic bass, electric bass, cymbals); Marcus Miller (bass clarinet, alto saxophone, tenor saxophone, synthesizer, mini-Moog synthesizer, electric bass, fretless bass); Victor Wooten (electric bass).
Lovers of jazz fusion and devotees of the possibilities of the electric bass have reason to thank the heavens for the arrival of THUNDER. A collaboration between three of the genre's reigning heavyweights-Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten-THUNDER offers up a cornucopia of low-end sonic playfulness and mastery. With tracks that range from orchestral (opener "Maestros de Las Frencuencias Bajas) to moody, spaghetti-western film music ("Los Tres Hermanos"), the album mixes jazz, funk, ambient, light jazz, and classical elements. Clarke, Miller, and Wooten weave their instruments around each other, creating plenty of varied interplay, and making this enjoyable set a bass-lover's dream.
Personnel: George Duke (trumpet, mini-Moog synthesizer); Patches Stewart (trumpet); Chick Corea (piano); Ruslan Sirota (keyboards); J.D. Blair, Poogie Bell, Derico Watson (drums); Kevin Ricard (percussion).
Audio Mixers: Gerry "The Gov" Brown; David Rideau; Goh Hotoda; David Isaac; Marcus Miller.

Arrangers: Marcus Miller; Stanley Clarke .Down Beat (p.80) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hese 13 tracks showcase killer chops and unique arrangements....The title track is a metal-edged funk stomper..." JazzTimes (pp.94-95) - "[T]he three bassists are never less than stunning in their mastery of the four-string....Miller's production is often sparse, the better to showcase the stars..." Paste (magazine) (p.65) - "Their debut, THUNDER, proves playful: With vocals relegated to the background, the bass takes the melody, the rhythm, the low end, the high end and all the solos, creating an admirably diverse array of sounds and styles."

Fusion is Back!!!!!!!!! Good bye to imitation Rnb and Hip Hop and finally listen to music for your ears to enjoy as this piece was long overdue. Submitted by Scooty (Sacramento, CA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 4 of 6 found this helpful.
If you like bass.... . . .. you'll love this! Following a visit to Montreux this year and a personal recommendation from Marcus Miller himself to check this album out I bought a copy and have not been disappointed. 3 of the world's top bass players together gives an incrediable and quite unique sound. Thouroughly recommended for those who like a contemporary jazz/funk sound and for fans of the 3 artists involved but definately not for those who are not into their bass!;o)
Enjoy! Submitted by charles.southwood (London, UK) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo 6 of 10 found this helpful.
Some serious funky jamming This cd surprised me,they are all great musicians in their own way, but at times during their serious jamming the music got too busy.But, in all if you like their brand of funk add it to your collection because it will be a collectors item in the future.

I'm Glad They Came Together Me Being a diehard jazz lover and with the bass guitar being one my favorite instruments to listen to i could'nt wait for the release of this cd, it's so nice that these three legendary musicians decided to get together for what i think is one of the best funk and jazz cds of the year i was able to catch the first show of their us tour in cleveland oh, and i must say if you don't get to see them live the cd is the next best thing to being there.

Being a bass player myself... Being a bass player myself I found this cd to be a total inspiration. I've always followed these three bassist for years, so this was a pleasure to finally hear these brothas get together. /thanks. Submitted by bassistondeck (Columbus, Oh, USA) Was This Review Helpful?
