M¿¿

by Marcus Miller

Overview

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. While it's not his most impressive work ever, fans will find plenty of chops to whet their appetite, and yet again it proves Miller to be one of the most talented smooth jazz artists on the scene. ~ Rob Theakston
