We continue our dialogue<\/a> with legendary bassist Marcus Miller with a focus on his current and more recent projects from his many film scores to the supergroup Mega Nova with Carlos Santana, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, and Cindy Blackman Santana. He also shares his thoughts on genre and how his Sirius XM show “Miller Time” can expose great music to new appreciative audiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

PostGenre: Since you have indicated you are waiting to create a new album until you can see the brighter side of current events, what have you been working on lately?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Miller: I have been doing virtual appearances and little things. I am also about to get into scoring some documentaries and films on really fascinating historical people. I\u2019m really happy about those projects because they seem to be part of this era too; revisiting the lives of certain historical figures or visiting them for the first time.  There are some great people from the past, like Thurgood Marshall, that don\u2019t get enough attention. There\u2019s more stuff like my work on the Marshall <\/em>film to come. Working on those types of projects is also going to help me because their incredible stories will inspire me and hopefully I can use that inspiration to springboard into my next move.     <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
