Stanley Clarke Artist Snapshot:

Philadelphia-born bassist Stanley Clarke got his start playing with straight-up jazzers (Horace Silver, Joe Henderson), but became known as one of the prime movers in the jazz-rock fusion movement of the 1970s. His virtuosic technique on both the electric and the acoustic bass made him a superstar of the instrument. Clarke skillfully blended rock, jazz, and funk, on solo recordings, as a member of fusion supergroup Return To Forever, and in collaborations with keyboardist George Duke and others. Clarke's distinctive slapping technique has influenced numerous technically stunning players, from Bela Fleck accompanist Victor Wooten to Miles Davis cohort Marcus Miller.

The jazz-fusion bassist Stanley Clarke has built a stellar reputation over the decades since his first recordings in the early 1970s. This mostly instrumental best-of includes his highly influential hit "School Days," which alerted the world to his prodigious bass-slapping technique, and a tribute to P-Funk supreme George Clinton in the form of "Mothership Connection," the latter done to a vintage early-'80s go-go rhythm. Appearances by fellow fusion collaborator George Duke and the legendary British guitarist Jeff Beck, in addition to a host of other stellar fusion names, and the inclusion of technically accomplished workouts like "I Wanna Play for You" and "Rock 'N' Roll Jelly," make this a fine introduction to the bassist's work.
