WORLD EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW: STANLEY CLARKE, THE LEGEND RETURNS
There are good bassists, and there are great bassists – and there’s Stanley Clarke, veteran of close to half a century as bass player, composer, bandleader, band-member and all-round guru to our low-frequency community and far beyond. Now aged sixty seven and as focused as ever, the four time-Grammy-winning pioneer is talking to us today about his new album, The Message, written and recorded in France and Belgium with a young band of incredible talent. As with pretty much everything Clarke has released since he first came to the public’s attention in the early Seventies, his new album isn’t just another collection of tunes. Appropriately given its title, The Message is Clarke’s implicit appeal to the listener to listen up, wise up and pay attention to the state of play in today’s troubled world.
