Marcus Miller is a legend in American jazz, and has played with musicians like Miles Davis, Luther Vandross, Frank Sinatra, and Michael Jackson. As such, I went into the concert expecting nothing less than one of the best to ever play jazz and he fully lived up to that billing.
The atmosphere in the building was unique and kind of hard to describe; mostly, it felt like everybody was upbeat, having a great time, and yet making sure to soak everything in and appreciate that they were listening to one of the titans of jazz music. As to be expected from such a big name, the venue was huge but the acoustics were great and all of the details and subtleties of the notes carried throughout the whole room.
Every single musician he had on stage with him was also a master of his art, and so the amount of pure musical talent collected in one place was really remarkable.
I was only a casual jazz fan before going to this show but listening to Marcus Miller and everybody he had playing with him converted me into a complete, rabid jazz fanatic. As proof of the man’s love for music, he still tours a lot even nowadays, so there is absolutely no excuse not to see him in person.
