NEA Jazz Master and four-time Grammy Award Winner Stanley Clarke has attained “living legend” status during his over 50-year career as a bass virtuoso. He is the first bassist in history who doubles on acoustic and electric bass with equal ferocity and the first jazz-fusion bassist ever to headline tours, selling out shows worldwide. A veteran of over 40 albums, he won the 2011 Best Contemporary Jazz Album Grammy Award for The Stanley Clarke Band. Clarke co-founded the seminal fusion group Return to Forever with Chick Corea and Lenny White. In 2012 Return to Forever won a Grammy Award and Latin Grammy for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Forever.

“Clarke…quite literally was unbelievable…Clarke more or less “made-love” to his bass. At times he made it pant, and occasionally he made it “bark,” and moan as if the bass was saying, “give me more!” At the end of the solo…it was the audience left breathless and craving just a little more. Overall, the show was awe-inspiring. Experiences like these are few and far between.”
“Behold Stanley Clarke King of Funk ‘n’ Roll.”
David Weiss, LA Herald Examiner
