Marcus plays with young artists, same as Miles Davis did when he was his age (58 year old). When Marcus was 27, he was producer of Miles' Tutu. Giving such opportunities to young people shows real selflessness and character of these two artists.

Very talented young musicians. In that way Marcus is like Frank Zappa whose band (school?) launched many a career.
Marcus is a musicans study tool . The guys knows music all styles . Great guy in person and does not have a big head . Hats off to you Marcus Miller . Blessings!
Fantastique Marcus Miller ! Miles Davis et lui,ce n'est pas un hasard ! Bravo !!
Usually I just want to listen to Marcus Miller and be in awe of his bass playing, but this stuff is fantastic jazz no matter who's playing it. The drumming and sax-playing are phenomenal and the sound is right on...the grit of that Jazzmaster six-string is a wonderful touch. I could listen to this all day. Thanks, Marcus.
Who is the hell would dislike this video? SMDH . . . I love Marcus Miller's legacy.
listening to this piece over and over again, keeps my heart pumping.
I swear, the sound and mix is better at this session than on the album. I always have to come here to listen to these songs.
Alex Han for President!!! Louis Cato for Minister of Riddim! Brett for Minister of Cool! Marcus - Emperor Groove Setter for Life!
When the trumpeter first started his solo, I wasn't looking at the screen and thought for a second it was Roy Hargrove. Whoever he is, that guy is good.

Lee Hogan… I agree he’s mad!
This video not only looks good, but the sound is killer. I can hear a lot more midrange from Marcus' bass than usual. I want to hear him play that Musicman, that's new.

I always liked watching Marcus on stage in Rotterdam, but this is another highlight of his career and a really outstanding performance of these talented guys. It has got as much fascinating rhythmic power as it has got beautiful melodic elements. Excellent music. Thanks so much for uploading.
This is such a great video for both the amazing musicianship and the cool historical context that he shares. Great work to the whole band. Nice playing from everyone especially Marcus!
Just found Marcus Miller tonight. Holy smokes! Is ALL his stuff this good?!

Sometimes a chance is all that's needed! Great job MM for all your contributions to the world of music! Especially for opening the path for younger musicians to follow through.
What a vibe!! thx so much for sharing this experience
Just seen him in Montreux a couple of weeks ago, he is awesome and his bandmates are incredibly gifted as well, would go again :)
Had the pleasure of watching/meeting these guys this past weekend in Indianapolis. Sick players.
In Africa, music is actually meant for everyone and to be inclusive. Ain't that cool in comparison to all the marketing giants in the music industry treating musicians like race horses instead of learning to sit back and appreciate real art.

@@LOOMING_WRAITH_OF_BAD_OMEN We all have something to do with it. If you treat other countries as source of raw materials, cheap labour force and as a waste land, it becomes "a massive shithole", as you said.
My respect for this guy grows every time i hear him.
This is sooooooo beautiful!!!! Marcus is one of the few that TRULY understands what music is all about. No disrespect to others at all. Was listening to his work with George Benson and Earl Klugh on 1987's (86?) "Collaboration". Sublime. "Groove Setter" indeed!
Just visited his concert 3 days ago. It was so f***n' magnificent! One of the best concerts in my life. Don't miss the opportunity to see it live, if you still have one!
What an infectious Guy, Marcus is, just oozes such a joyous passion for what he does. Privileged to have met him and have been inspired to play bass. One of my music heroes. 'Peace Marcus'. Paul
This is a killer video great musicians great sound and Marcus gave us a tour with the story on every song. Awesome.
Marcus is an amazing all round musician, love to hear him play. saw him play in southbank this year. Amazing.
Great music...!!! I love this band and particularly Marcus as a bass player... He's a legend.

Dunlop does two things very well: - Picks; - Dunlop session videos.
Thank u Marcus 4 coming 2 Hamburg. We love u and u r New Album
Marcus is a "BAD" man! Got tickets, can't wait.
I love this!!!! Two thumbs up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The man is the best, his music is very inspiring. I bought a bass a few months ago and I definitely want to play more. Thank you.
Fantastic!
Love when marcus plays fingerstyle.
Son of Macbeth is pure delight Miller's Fender Jazz bass, 2x Ebs proline 4x10", Marcus reknown taste and technique: how ever could you just go wrong? Cheers, Claudio
Guided here by Scott Devine. Now I've listened to this vid, oh, 20 times in a few days. This is really terrific stuff. Now ordered a couple of Marcus's CDs. Looking forward to getting them. :-)
Exelentes musicians... A pleasure !!!!
Marcus Miller is such a legend!! I saw him live at Lincoln Center in 2019 where he did a set filled with cuts from Miles Davis's electric jazz fusion period. That show was 🔥
Everything about this is absolutely fantastic.
Pure class. Thank you.
Sax man is killing it! :)
To describe Marcus Miller's musicianship precisely would require the addition of a new word that extends beyond excellence! I must carefully and humbly say that he and Nathan East are my sources of inspiration. Not that I have heard all Marcus has to offer, but really! Why is there so much left in the tank each time I encounter Miller's music? Thanks Dunlop!
The beginning of the first one, Hylife, reminds me of Under The Bridge by RHCP
Wow, that was awesome! Imho also the guitar player has improved a lot since the first years with Marcus.
GOSH the kick drum sounds so damn nice in this mix!
This is SOOOO good
Loved it!!!!!
Smoooooth! Marcus Miller’s style should be its own genre! Damn he’s good!
The Master at work... I bow to the lord of groove and funk
Awesome!!!!
Impressive! That Marcus Miller is a bit special! Awesome stuff!
Un grand bravo aux musiciens qui accompagnent Marcus Miller. Qu'ils sont brillants tous ! sublime !!
Marcus, as always, has done it again. Killer video!
Son of Macbeth has go to be one of the best songs ever recorded. It's just soooooo groovy. Was great seeing these gentlemen live, last weekend in Budapest. Love it.

Saw them last night in Santa Cruz, California :-) Pretty awesome show, I must say. I loved the "classics" (Tutu, Jean-Pierre) as much as the new stuff, where you can really feel both classic Marcus and West African music intertwined. Result is magic. Well done Marcus!!
Congrats to Rebekah and Myles also .... Great job ! Great SOUND !!!

point of correction marcus, highlife originated from Ghana not Nigeria they came to Ghana to learn "western music" also known as Highlife. thank you guys for inculcating our culture into your music
Awesome they should keep up the good work.😃😀😃😀😃😃😀😃😀
SOMEHOW this music relaxes me at the same time as grabbing ALL my attention unlike a LOT of other music: think that says enough for it! And I LOVE metal but it DOES NOT RELAX! NOWAY man!

+Martin chacon ..and like a GREAT as opposed to GOOD cook, chef or whatever he's judicious in his arrangements to not OVERDO the singing (e.g.) or anything else so the music, like a good recipe, is balanced & never cloying, BORING, or too repetative in a department. It all comes together in new ways throughout the composition the way a wine or appetizer go with or compliment a main course.
Love the chords on Hylife!!!!!
Forever AWESOME!
How epic is this song. So inspiring
SOOOOO AWESOME! LOUIS CATO IS LIKE OHHH JEEESSSS!!!
This is just insane...... Respect to all of you. X
This is great music. Marcus Miller is a very good bass player. Dunlop sessions is a good thing.
Un mélange de couleurs africaine et de slap USA, toujours aussi performant il va de plus en plus vers un niveau difficile à atteindre. Take care Marcus
Sounds fresh!
GREAT EXPERIENCE
Funny! Everyone in the band is in a t-shirt or rolled up sleeves, guitarist is dressed like he's about to climb Kilamanjaro.

Beautiful Marcus !
How could you ever get tired of listening and watching this performance. You don't even have to see who's playing bass because there is a signature on that sound. How many musicians out there can make that claim? Only a few and you already know who they are.
Bangin' track. Played when I was 13, nothing much but now I have to catch up. Love this track.

Great.

This is a great session. One thing about a Fender bass that I love you get out of it what you put into it.
Alway great
