The guy can surely do his thing. But I think it's terribly benign music.

How do you figure?

I just think it's pretty soulless. I don't get smooth jazzers, they can play the hell out of their instruments but choose to do this cubicle dweller stuff. Actually it makes perfect sense: $$$

Everybody's gotta eat, so who can blame them, I guess

Marcus' expertise is much broader than merely smooth jazz. His resume of who he performed with or was hired by is impressive.

The style on this track is what he made his trademark, and is inspired by what Miles was recording with Marcus (TuTu, Amandla) and performing on stage.

He re-recorded the classic "Free" with Corrinne Bailey Rae

Soulless, soulful, to be or not to bop

Corrinne Barely Rae did Free! Lord, why did I listen to that? I should've known, she screwed up I Wanna Be Your Lover too. I can't with her watered down vocals. Somebody ban this woman from all studios

No shade Shango because the music in the backgroud sounds lovely, but her voice.......

I didn't mind any of those; I actually thought "coolfunk" was pretty cool. Thanks for putting those up.

Somebody posted this one a while back and I really liked it. What a sweet groove (it's all in that awesome hi hat)
