In 2008, Stanley Clarke, Marcus and Victor Wooten, 3 titans of the bass world teamed up to produce “Thunder” and subsequently tour the world as SMV. This unique alliance of three generations of bass gods had been on chat room and fan gathering wish lists for over 15 years, kept alive by periodic statements from all three that schedules permitting they would give it a go.

Finally, in October 2007, with Clarke set to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award from Bass Player magazine, at its annual Bass Player Live! Event in New York, Miller and Wooten made the time to attend and induct their mentor. The ensuing VSOP Jam not only blew the minds of the 900 in attendance, it cemented for the trio their inherent musical chemistry and thus the viability of pursuing the project in earnest.

Miller’s career continues to constantly evolve and change, keeping him at the forefront of jazz. We can only imagine where his impeccable musical instinct and genius will lead him next."

Concert starts at 8 pm.
