School Days (1976) by Stanley Clarke is the bassist's most lauded work, carried by his super funky bass lines and groundbreaking chord progressions. By drawing influences from Jazz, Rock, P-Funk, Brazilian grooves and four-to-the-floor Disco beats, School Days became a milestone in fusion music!

Aspiring bassists drooled over Clarke's inventive bass licks & tricks. But there's more: School Days proves that Clarke is a song building genius as well. Surrounded by top musicians (among which George Duke and John McLaughlin), with School Days he managed to delicately walk a musical balancing cord of playing music that is both commercial and good at the same time!

"Clarke was triumphantly proving that it was possible to be both good and commercial at the same time."
