 New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Marcus Miller Official Website) - Bassist Marcus Miller's new live CD, A Night in Monte-Carlo, with the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra featuring Roy Hargrove and Raul Midon. The repertoire for A Night in Monte-Carlo covers nearly a century of music, arranged and produced by Marcus - from two styles of opera to jazz, including a contemporized spiritual, Marcus' composition "Your Amazing Grace" and a ballad featuring Roy Hargrove, "I'm Glad There Is You." The program opens with "Blast!," a Grammy-nominated, Middle Eastern-tinged instrumental of world fusion funk that has been begging for a symphonic treatment since it was birthed on the bassist's ninth album, Marcus. Raul Midon and Marcus also do a beautiful live version of Raul's hit song "State of Mind."
