MARCUS MILLER IN CONCERT:
Bass guitar legend Marcus Miller has lent his fast-fingered session skills to everyone from Miles Davis to Michael Jackson, but lately it's his solo work that's been bringing the heat. Taking the stage with an unparalleled group of jazz musicians, Miller holds down the groove for the duration of his marathon sets, soloing in turn with his bandmates at shows that often top two hours. Just to give you an idea of how committed these guys are, their encores often extend for up to 45 minutes — a perk fans can expect as the band hits the road for their 2014 tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Brooklyn-born Marcus Miller was raised by a musical family that included his church organist father and jazz pianist cousin. By 13, he had mastered multiple instruments and begun penning his own tunes, becoming a sought-after session musician just a few years later. As a session player, he worked with a veritable laundry list of legendary artists, including Herbie Hancock, Mariah Carey, and Frank Sinatra, concurrently playing bass for Luther Vandross between 1981-2007. He formed his own band in the early '80s, making his solo debut with 1983's funk-inspired Suddenly and releasing a score of albums over the ensuing decades. Ever the multi-talent, Miller also acted as a producer on numerous Grammy-winning recordings for artists including Chaka Khan, David Sanborn, and Miles Davis. Back on the road in 2014, Miller and co. are sharper than ever, setting high expectations for their upcoming tour dates.

This was the first time I saw Marcus Miller live. Besides watching him play all his famous songs. I saw him play Fretless bass for the first time. He was amazing. His band was amazing too. The Sax and Trumpet players killed it. The keyboard player was amazing and the drummer was right there holding it all together with Marcus.
Sound was good but seating was a little tight. Will return.
Experience top notch from beginning to end. Venue. Very clean, and organized Parking organized. Food tasty will return and recommend.
As usual, Marcus Miller put on a phenomenal show! What a superb artist! I am so disappointed that he does not perform in the states much; however, I had already planned a trip to Europe just to see him in concert. Yes, I just saw him; but, I cannot wait to see him again!!
Always enjoy his precision, his proficiency, and his immense talent across multiple instruments.
Marcus Miller and his fabulous band wowed the crowd in Philadelphia, PA last weekend for 2 solid hours. It was my first time catching him perform live but I pray it won't be my last.
It appears every seat was a good seat, the artist wasn't late the ushers were kind and helpful and the music was jammin.
First and foremost, we are Marcus Miller fans we have seen him more times than we can count all different places, cities, etc. But for some reason we just felt like this show was just over the top. Marcus is a genius. He’s awesome but this time I don’t know if it was the way he went into the funk thing & the audience got a chance to chime in. Or whatever it was just exceptional for us this time. Awesome show, just awesome!!!
Thé performance was excellent. Marcus Miller and his band played many favorite tunes as well as new ones. The venue seats were spaced a bit too tight but that did not from the performance.
Mr. MIller had a good band put together the drummer is from Philly , a nice concert He did miss some of my favorites by him!!!!
