During this period, jazz was presented in a variety of ways in different venues, on four of which I focus: New Orleans-style jazz commonly performed for the same audiences in Rhythm Clubs and in concert halls (as shown by George Webb’s Dixielanders at the Red Barn public house and the King’s Hall); clubs hosting different styles of jazz on different nights of the week that brought in different audiences (such as the 100 Club on Oxford Street); clubs with a fixed stylistic ideology that changed venue, taking a regular fan base and musicians to different locations (such as Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club); and jazz in theatres (such as the Little Theatre Club and Mike West- brook’s compositions for performance in the Mermaid Theatre).

  • Marcus Miller | Afrodeezia
    Marcus Miller | Afrodeezia Musiker-Ikonen gibt es wie Sand am Meer. Insbesondere gefühlte 1 Million Super-Mega-Hyper und Überstars aus der jüngsten U- Musik lassen sich finden. Kaum ein Newcomer, der nicht nach dem erstem Geräusch-Ausstoß als solcher gelisted ist. Erschreckend, was sich meine Kinder – eigentlich Jugendliche mit immensem Musikkonsum- alles so anhören und was ich davon verächtlich in die Plastikmüllkiste wegdrücke. Generationenproblem? Wahrscheinlich. Für Musikbesessene, wie ich es bin, gibt es aber zum Glück diese grandiosen musikalischen Rückzugsorte, ohne die mein Tag nicht auskommt. Also einmal mehr: Marcus Miller. Marcus Miller ist in erster Linie Musiker, Multiinstrumentalist, Komponist, Arrangeur und Produzent, einer der Einflußreichen bei Jazz, Fusion und vielseitiger populärer Musik. Darüber hinaus zählt er zu der Riege der stilprägenden Bassisten wie Stanley Clarke, Viktor Bailey† oder Billy Sheehan , die es fabulös geschafft haben, das Erbe von Ray Brown, Ron Carter, Charles Mingus und Jaco Pastorius (um nur einige zu nennen) in unsere modernen Zeiten zu übersetzen. Avantgarde? Aber sicher. Und immer gut zu hören, nie abgehoben. Marcus Miller war 21 Jahre alt, als man ihn als wichtigen Begleiter von Miles Davis erstmals wahrgenommen hat, das ist fast 40 Jahre und gute 20 Solo-Alben her. Seine Mitwirkungen an den Veröffentlichungen anderer Künstler sind Legion. Die nun vorgestellte CD Afrodeezia stammt bereits aus dem Jahre 2015 und ist wieder einmal etwas Besonderes vom Bassisten: „Was mir am meisten am Herzen lag“, sagt Miller, „war zu den Quellen der Rhythmen, die unser musikalisches Erbe so reich machen, zurückzugehen, ihnen wie Fußspuren zu folgen, von ihren Ursprüngen in Afrika den ganzen Weg bis in die USA.
