![Marcus Miller: The Session Musicians](/assets/artwork/1x1.gif)
Multi-instrumentalist Marcus Miller played a key role in connecting the dots between jazz, pop and R&B in the '80s. His dancing slap bass helped steer Luther Vandross' early forays into stylish, post-disco soul (“Never Too Much”) as well as Grover Washington, Jr.'s funk-kissed jazz instrumentals (“Winelight”). He also wrote and arranged the coolly atmospheric “Tutu”, wrapping Miles Davis' muted horn in New Wave synths and programmed drums.
