Thoughts and prayers out to the family of the driver and speedy recovery for the MM crew |

I also noticed that the article listed Miller as a keyboardist and bass clarinetist ahead of his bass playing! I guess a story like this puts into perspective how well known even the most famous bassist is.

"Alicia and I both spoke to Adam. He is doing well, a little bruised up but otherwise ok. He staying overnight in the hospital for observation just to be safe. The other band members are doing well too and most have been released. We are really sorry for the loss of the bus driver and we send our sympathies to the family. We are eternally grateful that the band is ok and Adam is safe. Thanks for all your thoughts and wishes. Sal" |

There doesn't seem to be much information being released yet other than that the driver died. Its amazing that nobody else was killed.

| | | | My prayers today include Marcus Miller. I am so sad this happened. He has been a huge influence of mine for years, since 1974 or 75. I didn't know he is 2 years younger than me ??!!
He was a monstrous bass player in his teens, because I was 16 or 17 when I first started listening to him. Flora Purim was one of the 1st I think.
Anyway, I pray to God that he will recover quickly along with his band. Prayers also to those who were lost.
