Cerys meets multi-Grammy-winning bassist Marcus Miller.

Cerys's guest this month is multi-Grammy-winning bassist Marcus Miller, a player with one of the most enviable and expansive musical careers in the industry. Born and raised in New York to a musical family (legendary jazz pianist Wynton Kelly is a cousin), Miller’s characteristic bass sound can be heard on a limitless catalogue of hits from Bill Withers' Just The Two Of Us, to Luther Vandross’ Never Too Much, to songs from Chaka Khan, Herbie Hancock, Eric Clapton, Aretha Franklin, George Benson, Elton John and Bryan Ferry to name a few. With his distinctive style - a unique combination of funk, groove and soul - Miller is often referred to as one of the most important bass players in jazz, R&B, fusion and soul.
