In the truest sense of the word, Stanley Clarke is a legend.

—NPR

Known for his intense dexterity and consummate musicality on the acoustic and electric bass, Stanley Clarke is a pioneer in jazz and jazz fusion. A constant force in American music since his days as a founding member of the seminal fusion band Return to Forever in the early 1970s, the four-time Grammy Award winner has released more than 40 albums and was the first fusion bassist to headline tours, selling out shows worldwide.

Clarke’s creativity has been recognized and rewarded in every way imaginable: gold and platinum records, Grammy Awards, Emmy nominations, a BMI Award, and placement in virtually every reader’s and critic’s poll in existence. He was Rolling Stone’s first Jazzman of the Year and was named best bassist in Playboy’s Music Awards for 10 straight years. He has also been honored with Bass Player’s Lifetime Achievement Award and is a member of Guitar Player’s Gallery of Greats. In 2011, Clarke received the highly prestigious Miles Davis Award at the Montreal International Jazz Festival in recognition of his body of work and influence. Most recently, the bassist was named one of the National Endowment of the Arts’ 2022 Jazz Masters.
