I have never heard of Marcus Miller - and this song is a damn rock crusher. Oh so badass.

I do know Trombone Shorty, he comes by the Lou pretty often and puts on a great show.

The "Laid Black" album is just a few months old and available free on the u-tube.
Don't miss some of the great concert vids available too.
(my fave is North Sea Jazz festival-2015)

English songwriter/musician Rod Temperton who passed way too young in 2016. He wrote Grooveline, Boogie Nights, Always and Forever, Thriller, Off the Wall and the list is too long for so many artists. Nice remembrance at NPR of his songs. https://www.npr.org/sections/world-cafe/2016/10/06/496857847/remembering-the-invisible-man-10-rod-temperton-classics

I knew Heatwave was based in Britain and had American and English Musicians, but didn't know who wrote what, and had no idea he wrote all those other jams.

Learning a boatload about a genre I thought I was pretty well versed in.

DU MA is the shit
