Concord Jazz presents Marcus, the new album from critically-acclaimed and Grammy-winning artist Marcus Miller. The album, which is Marcus' 7th solo release, features guest appearances by Corinne Bailey Rae, Lalah Hathaway, Keb' Mo' and more, including Taraji P. Henson, the actress who leant her vocals to the Oscar winning song "It's Hard out Here for a Pimp" from the film Hustle and Flow. The 13-track album finds Marcus serving up his own signature funk-jazz music and sees him cover some classics including Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground", Miles Davis' "Jean Pierre" and Tower of Power's "What is Hip?". Marcus also features two covers of the Robin Thicke 2007 hit "Lost Without You". The first sees Lalah Hathaway shining on vocals with Marcus' bass upfront and the second version, which is the album's bonus track, features actress Taraji P. Henson in her spoken word debut. Multi-platinum artist Corinne Bailey Rae lends her vocals to the 1976, Deniece Williams soul classic "Free".
