    ..Miles, Parker, Coltrane..the great masters and their disciples all share one thing in common..they are never satisfied with staying in one place for too long, never static, they are always exploring new frontiers, musicians who use their natural intuitions along with acquired knowledge over time..Miles didn’t want to play his “greatest hits” from the 1950s for the rest of his life..a short story.. I was in the classical music program at CUNY Queens College 1976 thru 1978 and i’m cutting through Colden Auditorium to meet a friend and I hear this electric bass walking through rhythm changes like there’s no tomorrow..it was Marcus on stage warming up!!..never forgot that since..stay safe and stay strong..New York May 11, 2021..

The shit he played on many records are so brilliant that to this day he is the Bass Player I listen to at the most. I am not talking about his solo works but rather the stuff he played on like Lonnie Liston Smith, Tom Browne, Lenny White, Roberta Flack, Luther Vandross, Grover Washington Jr., David Sanborn, Sunfire, Bobby M., Midnight Star, The Spinners a.k.a Detroit Spinners and I could go on for days. He is simply fantastic. And he has got his own style and signature sound.

    i came to this realisation when i read the autobiography and how he described how he could stay relevant over so many generations
    then it hit me: jazz has always been modern retelling of the old stories, aka, pop tunes from previous generations
    just like Marcus says here "you dont need an education to understand it"
    if it's 'your song' and you hear someone else play it in a new way, you're already connected to it, like it or not.
    it's a good place to start with art, from a feeling
