Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten – each a powerful force of nature in his own right – have done more in recent decades to redefine the electric bass than any other musician alive today. When these three titans – collectively known as S.M.V. – converge on the low frequencies, the results are no less than earth shaking. THUNDER, their debut collaboration on Heads Up, is a high-energy phenomenon whose impact is guaranteed to resonate throughout every corner of the music world.
The initial idea behind THUNDER goes back a few years, but the final push came after the three bassists played together for the first time in October 2006 at the Bass Player Live! concert in New York City. In addition to the historic convergence of three monumental bass talents on one stage in the same night, the event also included the presentation of the Bass Player Lifetime Achievement Award to Clarke.
Guest artists on THUNDER include keyboardists Chick Corea and George Duke, trumpeter Patches Stewart and vocalist/beatboxer Butterscotch (aka Antoinette Clinton)
