Our Take

Prepare to be schooled in the funky, bass-heavy sounds of Stanley Clarke's "School Days."

This album is a masterclass in thumping basslines and toe-tapping rhythms that will have you grooving from start to finish. Clarke's virtuoso bass playing is on full display here, weaving in and out of complex time signatures with ease.

Tracks like the title track "School Days" and "Quiet Afternoon" showcase Clarke's ability to blend jazz fusion with elements of R&B and rock, creating a sound that is uniquely his own.

The instrumentation on this album is top-notch, with Clarke's bass taking center stage but also leaving room for contributions from keyboardist George Duke and drummer Gerry Brown. The result is a tight, cohesive sound that is sure to please even the most discerning music lover.

Overall, "School Days" is a funky, fresh album that showcases Stanley Clarke at the top of his game. So grab your headphones, turn up the volume, and get ready to be transported to a musical school like no other. Class is in session, and Stanley Clarke is the professor we all want to learn from.
