In 2013, he was appointed as a UNESCO Artist for Peace. Peace, it is the main ingredient. That should be enough and this Artistry Of story can end right here but Marcus Miller always enters with so much more. His currency of soul and heartfelt creative energy is a truly shared and enriching experience. The bass sound is, and has been, the security and sinuous foundation for a cast of players from many genre touchdowns. Every review and article speaks about his presence and playing as being inspirational. His artistic DNA is on the legacy of the great Miles Davis having been the superstar’s last primary producer.
The composition output includes music for television and film and he still finds time for radio show hosting presenting just some of the best of the music he loves. As a leader in his bands he mentors and guides legions of new younger players doing for them what he had been able to experience when he was the same. Afrodeezia is an album project inspired by his work with UNESCO tracking and following in musical expression the African Atlantic slave routes.
Miller’s is expansive and exploratory artistry with a limitless spirit keeping an eye and ear on how the world is behaving, can behave, and should and could behave.
