StanleyClarke

n these special videos produced by SMTOWN, Korea's largest entertainment and media group, we get a chance to hear about Stanley Clarke's roots, his new band and an upcoming project. Over the years, Clarke has played with many jazzmasters, scored a number of popular motions pictures all while managing to keep his stage shows fresh and vibrant.

North Texas can take a bow in that his current band features a couple of emerging stars from Dallas - Mike Mitchell (Drums) and Caleb MacCampbell (Keyboards). The two along with pianist Beka Gochiashvilli, Cameron Graves (keys) provide new energy that I dare say is challenging Mr. Clarke to experiment even more than he has in the past. He's one of the Vangard bassists of our times and I think you're going to love the performance of the new track "To Be Alive". Our featured video performance.
