Stanley Clarke (Four Time Grammy Winner)
Exploding into the jazz world in 1971, one of the first bassists in history to master both acoustic and electric bass with equal virtuosity, headliner selling out shows worldwide, noteworthy solo career and innovative film/TV scores, collaboration with other legends as George Duke, Chick Corea, Jeff Beck, etc..., he remarkably expanded boundaries of contemporary jazz.
The Harlem String Quartet, resident ensemble at the New England Conservatory of Music's Professional String Quartet Program, is a cutting-edge modern classical group that proves capable of nailing Clarke’s complex charts and demonstrates great capacity for content-rich improvisation.
