Opportunities are extremely rare to see three such renowned, unique, and special artists come together on an artistic project; this is the case for Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten, S.M.V.. The idea of such a unique alliance of bass kings initially emerged from online chats where fans had been expressing this wish for over fifteen years. This hope was regularly nurtured, especially when each of the three protagonists hinted that it could happen if their schedules allowed. Stanley Clarke is quite simply a living legend who liberated his instrument, just as Louis Armstrong and Charlie Parker did in their respective fields before him. By showing the whole world that the bass was not simply confined to the back of the stage, but could be used for prominent performances, Stanley revolutionized the musical function of this instrument. His influence has only grown over the years. His performance on "Return to Forever" with musicians like Chick Corea, Al Di Meola, and Lenny White ignited the music world with an explosive blend of rock and jazz. Jazz-fusion was born.
