Stanley Clarke Trio

Four-time Grammy winner Stanley Clarke has achieved “living legend” status and he is known as the liberator of the electric and acoustic basses.  Clarke has been a constant force of nature in American music since the early 1970s with the success of the jazz-fusion group Return To Forever. Successful solo albums followed.   Clarke has the distinction of being the first bassist in history to headline sold-out world tours and have gold albums. He was also the first to double on acoustic and electric bass with equal virtuosity and ferocity.   Clarke has received Emmy nominations for his film scores, and he was Rolling Stone’s very first Jazzman of the Year and bassist winner of Playboy’s Music Award for ten straight years. Clarke was honored with Bass Player Magazine’s Lifetime Achievement Award and is a member of Guitar Player Magazine’s “Gallery of Greats.”
