Marcus Miller
External organiser: Stockholm Jazz Festival
Prepare for an evening with bass in the leading role. Marcus Miller, the undeniable master of the low register, presents a concert that unites technical brilliance with raw emotion. With his characteristic slap technique and deep groove, Miller has created a sound that combines the perfect balance of funk, soul and jazz.
In his 40 years on stage, he has worked with greats like Miles Davis, Aretha Franklin and Herbie Hancock. And whether he’s spinning silky-smooth bass lines or immersed in a sharp, rhythmic solo, Marcus Miller’s control over the instrument is unsurpassed. This evening will feature soft ballads and rhythmic bursts of funk, where every note is infused with Miller’s unique style.
But Miller isn’t just a bass player – he’s a storyteller. His set will weave together iconic songs from his collaboration with Miles Davis, his own Grammy Award-winning albums, and new compositions that push the development of jazz forward. Together with a band composed of carefully selected young musicians, this concert will be more than just a performance – it’s a chance to experience a living legend at his best. As the opening concert for Stockholm Jazz Festival 2025, this evening sets the tone for an entire week of music.
