As with most Marcus Miller albums ‘Laid Black’, his second for Blue Note, is quite diverse and his distinctive bass is well to the fore. Trombone Shorty guests on the funky Fusion of ‘7-Ts’ that is somewhat of a throwback. The atmospheric ‘Untamed’ has a quasi Miles feel courtesy of muted trumpet. ‘Someone To Love’ and ‘Sublimity’. The Jazz Funk feel returns for ‘Keep Em Runnin’ that has an early 80’s Funk feel. The album finishes on a high with ‘Preachers Kid’ that features saxophonist Kirk Whalum and wordless vocals from Take 6. Lovers of Marcus’ undoubted ability on electric bass will revel in ‘Laid Black’.
