David Sanborn's "Night Music" TV show (80's): House bassist?

Great show. That was the show where Marcus thumped Teen Town as an 'outro' going into a commercial break, and we all thought 'my god'!

I was just starting my 'corporate career' at Anheuser-Busch at that time, and was actually working on the Michelob business (the show's sponsor for a while). I was too much of a peanut to get invited on-set, but it was fun to be at least indirectly involved.

I remember that too, all the fuzos were talking about it and all the local bassists went to the shed!

I just found this clip -- I was going to start a new thread for it, but I think it's from the same show!

It's Marcus Miller playing (a fretless Fodera, as far as I can tell) the tune "Mr. Pastorius" with Miles Davis. Someone more knowledgeable than I can identify the other players. The tone and style are both different from what I associate with Marcus, but I like it.

EDIT: Okay, that's Kenny Garrett on sax. I feel a little older now.
