专辑介绍： 追随著爵士乐大师 Miles Davis的脚步，Marcus Miller一直以人文 关怀为音乐诉求的宗旨，虽然，整个大环境受到商业的影响，但是， 他的音乐仍受到许多听眾的肯定，合作对象更是从流行乐的玛莉亚˙凯利到老牌爵士乐手韦恩˙萧特眾星云集。 Marcus Miller的特色在於贝斯吉他的使用，一般的贝斯只是用来作伴奏乐器，但是，在Marcus的神技之下，贝斯吉他变成了一中神秘而独特的独奏乐器，特别是对於低音有兴趣的朋友，本张专辑更是不容你错过，时而低厚时而高亢的贝斯演奏，绝对是考验音响的好材料。 专辑中的曲子诸如Power、Nikki’s Groove等等，都附有强烈的节奏，加上与爵士钢琴大师Herbie Hancock的对弹，让这张专辑的精采度大为提昇，也相信再听腻了一成不变的老式爵士后，这张专辑能带给你新的音乐乐趣。 　　本专辑为2002年葛莱美的最佳现代Jazz专辑(Best Contemporary Jazz Album)。美国年轻黑人电贝斯手Marcus Miller的这张《M2》(以他名字的两个开头命名)的专辑，并没有被归入Telarc「Jazz Zone」的发行范围，这可能和他独特的音乐风格有一定关係。确切的说，Marcus Miller玩出的，是一种将爵土乐的即兴演奏和摇滚乐的力量和节奏结合在一起的「交叉」爵士音乐。 　　据资料称，天赋超群的Marcus Miller在80年代曾经和上世纪融合爵士乐鼻祖Miles Davis有过亲密的合作，音乐意识形态深受其巨大影响，是今日乐坛一位集作曲、演奏、制作於一身的多面手，不可多得。除了活跃於爵士音乐界，Marcus Miller也经常参与电影音乐和流行音乐的制作，一度是著名女歌手玛利亚‧凯瑞指定的贝斯手。这些经历注定了他的音乐兼收并蓄，风格不拘泥於传统的框框，具有非常大的自由度和宽容性。在这张CD中，他充分展示了对摇滚乐、黑人灵歌、节奏与布鲁斯、流行音乐、拉丁音乐以及自由爵士等音乐元素高超的综合能力，专辑力邀维恩‧肖特、詹姆斯‧卡特、拉菲尔‧赛迪克等多位著名乐手和歌手助阵，其中，Marcus Miller不仅包办了9首音乐的创作，还兼任全部曲目的编曲；除了演奏多种类型的电贝斯，他还担当低音提琴、单簧管、萨克斯、合成器等乐器的演奏，同时，他更在部分曲目中一展歌喉，而整个的录音制作亦是由他亲自操刀完成。此张唱片为Marcus Miller加盟Telarc后的第一张专辑，一推出即获美国「壁报」杂誌爵士排行榜冠军，势如破竹，压倒群雄。 　　在这张《M2》中，Marcus Miller神乎其技地展现出电贝斯迅猛、强劲的力度之美，又演示出优雅、迷人的音色；除了无所不能的炫技，他更告诉人们电贝斯这种特殊的节奏乐器，既可以挖掘出听眾全部的感官潜能，还可以为乐曲带来简洁而耐人寻味的铺陈，以及和旋律融为一体的气氛渲染。令人在为他狂飆式的炫技惊叹的同时，对这种平时以配角身份出现的低音乐器大大加深印象。 　　这张足以代表Telarc爵士乐制作最高水準的唱片，录音效果之优异，使我几乎又要用上非常过火的形容词来描述。那种令人打心坎里感到舒适、过癮的低频弹跳力，饱满结实的乐器音质，通透而活生感强烈的结像，我的印象中只有在当年「喇叭花」遗留下的天碟中才可能找到。只听第一首《POWER》，相信喜欢「多手仔」发烧友就会又有如获至宝的感觉。谁能将这里丰满有肉、弹性迷人的低频播得乾净快速，毫不失控，谁就有一套令人惊羡的好音响。 Marcus Miller has been dubbed the "Superman of Soul" and declared one of the ten most influential bass players of the ‘90s by Bass Player magazine. He has written hit songs for the likes of Luther Vandross and David Sanborn, and his production credits include Vandross, Miles Davis, Al Jarreau, Bob James and Wayne Shorter. He has also played with a list of musicians that reads like a Who's Who of the American music industry, including Miles, Donald Fagen, Aretha Franklin, Roberta Flack, McCoy Tyner, Mariah Carey, Paul Simon, the Brecker Brothers, Joe Sample and George Benson. With the May 22, 2001 release of M2 ("M-squared"), his first studio album since 1994, Marcus Miller deepens the groove of jazz in the new century. Produced by Miller, the smoothly accessible M2 has something to offer everyone. Using equal portions of jazz, funk and soul, Miller presents nine originals and five classics — "Amazing Grace," John Coltrane’s "Lonnie’s Lament," Charles Mingus’ "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat," Talking Heads’ "Burning Down the House" and Billy Cobham’s "Red Baron." Marcus Miller was born in Brooklyn in 1959 and raised in Jamaica, New York. His father played piano and organ, and jazz pianist Wynton Kelly was his cousin. This musical environment stimulated Miller to start playing clarinet at age 10, and soon after that sax, bass and piano. He studied at New York’s prestigious High School of Music and Art, and later attended Queens College, before dropping out to work full-time and develop his own style. Influenced by the likes of Jaco Pastorius, Stanley Clarke and Anthony Jackson, Miller became a pioneer of many startling bass techniques that are now commonplace. He soon found himself in demand as a rising star in the New York session world. In 1980, Miles Davis hired him for his comeback band. One of his favorite musicians, Miller credits Davis with having helped him find his own voice on the bass guitar. When Miller left after producing Tutu and Amandla, his career went into overdrive, and he has been a prolific songwriter, producer, and musician ever since. Miller has also turned his vast experience toward the art of scoring motion pictures, with results that range from the moody, experimental work Siesta to animated features like the soon-to-be released Trumpet of the Swan, along with Eddie Murphy’s Boomerang, to action fare like Low Down Dirty Shame, and the upcoming Sony Pictures film The Brothers. With an all-star cast and Miller’s distinctive, creative vision, M2 liberates crossover jazz from its conventional form and tonality. Telarc Records proudly announces this exclusive distribution deal with Hannibal L.L.C. and 3 Deuces Records to distribute and market Marcus Miller’s M2. The disc is remarkable for the number of virtuosos who support Miller including Hiram Bullock, James Carter, Mino Cinelu, Vinnie Colaiuta, Djavan, Kenny Garrett, Herbie Hancock, Paul Jackson Jr., Chaka Khan, Hubert Laws, Branford Marsalis, Maceo Parker, Raphael Saddiq, Wayne Shorter, Patches Stewart, Fred Wesley, Lenny White and Bernard Wright. UPC: 089408353420 Artist: Marcus Miller Format: CD Release Year: 2001 Record Label: Telarc Distribution Genre: Jazz General Allmusic awarded the album with 4 stars and its review by Rob Theakston states: "Marcus Miller continues to display his multi-instrument virtuosity with M², and while the order of the day is still smooth jazz, there's more of a soulful R&B edge than the majority of his previous work. It also features an all-star cast that includes Herbie Hancock, Branford Marsalis, Raphael Saadiq, Paul Jackson, Jr., and Lenny White among others." Marcus Miller是另一个影响我很深的bassist，由於我听到Louis Johnson之后，我问一些音乐老师，还有没有其他像这种slap的音乐可以听，於是Marcus Miller就进入了我的世界。严格的讲起来，Marcus Miller应该是属於jazz，但是他的音乐中，也很多funk元素。简单的介绍一下关於Marcus Miller，小时候吹clarinet就受到父亲在教会弹奏piano和organ的影响展现了对音乐的天份，青少年的时候开始弹奏bass和其他乐器。20几岁就帮Miles Davis制作几张重要的专辑，并且也参与写歌，当时造就了Miles Davis音乐生涯的另一个颠峰。他也曾数度被各个bass杂誌的读者票选为最佳bassist。 　　他能收能放的bass line是我觉得他最厉害的地方，有的时候要喷不喷的，能控制听的人的情绪，另外他的编曲也是一绝，常常把其他艺人的歌改成他自己的风格詮释，像”Talking Heads”的”Burning down the house”就精采无比。除了jazz音乐之外，他也帮人声团体”Take6”制作专辑，甚至电影”Breakin’ all the rules”(超完美分手大全)制作音乐，哈哈，其实看完电影我大部份时间都不知道在演什么，因为音乐实在太酷了。Fender也为他制作了专属model bass。2001的专辑”M2”获得了葛莱美奖，2002”the Ozell Tapes”这张双CD Live的专辑，也展现了他无与伦比的open jam能力。那阵子我几乎每天CD随身听里都是他的歌，2007年底他曾在日本表演一週，是我最接近他Live演出的一次，想说他最近也只会到日本，不会来台湾，所以有一股衝动想衝到日本看，结果碍於经济和工作因素没有衝去。但无论如何，看他的Live演出是这辈子我的愿望之一。Marcus Miller不只让我听到许多精采的funk音乐，也让我多认识了jazz。 自80年代至今，Marcus Miller 跨越爵士、Funk、摇滚等乐风早已成为名满天下的超级贝司手，最终入选Bass Player1999年评选的90年代世界十大贝司手之列。 2001年，Marcus Miller在Dreyfus Jazz录制发行了这张神乎其技的贝司主奏专辑《M2》，堪称全才的Marcus Miller几乎包办整张专辑的监制、创作、演奏、录音、制作等各个环节甚至各个细节。Marcus Miller在《M2》呈现融合、跨界的概念上有更深层的詮释，放克、古典、爵士、雷鬼、电子、世界音乐等不同元素在本专辑被揉合而共冶一炉，而Marcus Miller静如处子、动如脱兔的贝司演奏以一种强劲而从容的声响放射出一种难以言语形容的魅。最终，这张《M2》为Marcus Miller获得2002年葛莱美奖最佳现代爵士专辑的殊荣。
