As Stanley Clarke recently declared in a press release: “We wanted to make a bass record with a sound that would be somewhat unexpected to the listener. The biggest hurdle was to make a record with three basses - very low-end instruments, by definition - that would still be as musical as possible, and I think we achieved that.”

This musical project came out after the three bass aces performed together for the first time in October 2007 at the Bass Player Live! Concert. During that evening, Stanley Clarke also received the Bass Player Lifetime Achievement Award.

In addition to these bass aces, “Thunder” features a group of talented guest artists that include keyboardists Chick Corea and George Duke, trumpeter Michael “Patches” Stewart and vocalist/beatboxer Butterscotch (aka Antoinette Clinton).

So get ready for this musical “Thunder” on August 12th! Fore more information: smvmusic.com - By Akbar Nour
