Scored the Mont'Jazz Fest97 DVD this week, "Legends".

Marcus in fine form indeed, although having Steve Gadd, Joe Sample , David Sanborn and some old guy called Clapton as your stagemates should facilatate sounding good.

well reccomended, and a bargain at $20

Youtube is fantastic for looking up your favorite musos and finding clips like that. I've been watching a few Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten clips to pass time at work lately.

Hasn't helped my funk playing at all yet tho

I have a downloaded victor wooten tutorial somewhere, too much for me to contemplate!

I've been working on his version of Amazing Grace playing the melody with Harmonics and a bassline at the same time. Bit of a party trick, but cool if you can pull it off.

just during the ad breaks in "behind enemy lines" last night. I get dirty looks if I try and play while the program is on
