Marcus Miller

Miller spent approximately 15 years performing as a session musician using his classic training on the clarinet, keyboard, saxophone and guitar to learn the crafts of the performing musician. He gained many wonderful opportunities during this time, including being part of the Saturday Night Live band from 1978 and 1979 and writing a track for the queen of soul Aretha Franklin.

He has also contributed bass on recording by Luther Vandross, Roberta Flack, Carly Simon and Bryan Ferry to name a few and his impressive contact list won him the Most Valuable Player award from NARAS three years in a row.

It wasn't until the 1990s that Miller decided to focus on his own music and began to assemble his own band for touring commitments. He has released over twenty albums to date and his tours are incredibly popular in mainland Europe and Japan.

In 1997 Miller took a short break from his solo work to become part of a collaborative project entitled Legends headed up by Eric Clapton. It also featured pianist Joe Sample, saxophone player David Sanborn and drummer Steve Gadd. The group took part in eleven major jazz festivals throughout Europe.

Miller has had equal success in the film industry, scoring huge box office successes such as 'The Great White Hype' 'The Trumpet of the Swan' 'Head Of State' and most recently 'Obsessed' featuring Beyoncé Knowles.
