Stanley Clarke was awarded the 2022 NEA Jazz Masters Fellowship Award (announced last July). Nice video interview found here:

Congratulations once again to Stan!

Lately, the concept of professional institutional knowledge has come to mean something more to me... as I try daily to relay to another generation of future Waterworks Operators the sum of what I got from 30 years worth of people who went there and did that.

Mr. Clarke there... another fine example. What a genius. How many bass players today wouldn't be doing what they do, how they do it, if it weren't for what he did? 

Beautiful

Nice!

Excellent and well deserved. He has been a major influence on me as a bass player and how i think about using tone when playing.

Living Legend ! TIME EXPOSURE changed my life. I told Stanley that and I think he was surprised and expected me to say School Days or something. That's the first SC album I bought (it was a cassette. It was the80's) and that opening riff with Louis Johnson coming out of the right channel and Stan out of the left was a blast of blistering bass.

Congratulations, Stanley Clarke !!!
