This special 2 disc Docu-Concert contains a 2 hour concert from Grammy Award winning Marcus Miller, the world's best jazz bass player, together with an entire second disc filled with 2 hrs of bonus tracks as well as many topics of interest to music fans constructed through interviews with music superstars such as Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Herbie Hancock, Stanley Clarke, Bill Withers, Omar Hakim, Ralph MacDonald, Lenny White, Denzil Miller and Lalah Hathaway. A one of a kind tribute to a music giant who continues to set the bar higher as time goes on. This is a great DVD, Marcus gives a high performance on Bass, the Bass Clerinet and keyboards. As a bass player, I was motivated by his talent and hard work and it gave me the chance to see him on stage playing, for I have not had the chance to see him live at a concert. A must have DVD if you are a musician, or a lover of his music!
This dvd is a best buy. The sound quality is really good, the quality of the music and the playing too.
