A versatile multi-instrumentalist who also plays bass clarinet, he has collaborated extensively with David Sanborn and Luther Vandross and contributed to film projects such as Music From Siesta.

Reviews celebrate Marcus Miller’s tasteful, groove-first approach to fusion and his signature slap tone. M² is praised as a Grammy-winning high point, while The Sun Don't Lie is hailed as his finest, deeply melodic statement. A Paris live set shows seamless chemistry on Tutu and The King Is Gone. Overall verdict: refined, soulful, and masterfully arranged.
