Hi all,

Just picked up Marcus Miller's "The Sun Don't Lie", and it is brilliant. I
believe this is his second album (I could be wrong, I'm only a bass player ;-) )
If anyone has heard the first one (or any other great bass albums) please let
me know.

I already have his work on David Sanborn "Straight to the Heart" and Miles
Davis "Amandla".

Thanx

The Admiral

How about Lenny White's "Streamlined"? Check out '12 Bars from Mars' and
'Lady Madonna'.

He (Marcus) has 2 earlier albums under his name, both of which are very
"pop" oriented. He also has 2 albums under the name Jamaica Boys (Marcus,
Lenny White, Bernard Wright, and a lead vocalist), also very pop
oriented. Of course, fabulous bass playing throughout. The Lenny White
Streamline album is one of Marcus' first recordings. It's a great example
of Marcus at the beginning of his career, and a nice contrast with his
current work like The Sun Don't Lie. A complete list of Marcus' important
recordings would take pages and pages. He's quite a prolific guy, and
still very young.

You're right; thats not a very long list. However, that only represents a
small fraction of M.M.'s total output. I think that list is Chris Jisi's
list of Marcus' top 30. It's a good start.
