BASS players don't get much respect, generally speaking. So S.M.V. -- a band uniting Stanley Clarke of legendary fusion band Return to Forever with jazz-funk player and producer Marcus Miller and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones virtuoso Victor Wooten -- constitutes a wet dream for bassists, a rare opportunity to hear three bottom-end superstars in action, simultaneously.
