Stanley Clarke Band

Four-time GRAMMY Award winner Stanley Clarke has attained “living legend” status during his over 40-year career as a bass virtuoso. He is the first bassist in history who doubles on acoustic and electric bass with equal ferocity and the first jazz-fusion bassist ever to headline tours, selling out shows world-wide. A veteran of over 40 albums, he won the 2011 Best Contemporary Jazz Album GRAMMY Award for The Stanley Clarke Band. Clarke co-founded the seminal fusion group Return to Forever with Chick Corea and Lenny White. In 2012 Return to Forever won a GRAMMY Award and Latin GRAMMY for Best Jazz Instrumental Album, Forever.  Clarke was nominated for a 2015 GRAMMY for Best Instrumental Composition.  His creativity has been recognized and rewarded in every way imaginable: Gold and Platinum records, GRAMMY Awards, EMMY nominations, virtually every readers and critics poll in existence, and more. He was Rolling Stone Magazine’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.”
