EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic upright acoustic double bass owned by the legendary African-American musician Stanley Clarke during the late 20th century. As a founding member of Return to Forever, one of the pioneering jazz fusion bands, Clarke revolutionized the genre and became renowned for his unparalleled talent on this very instrument. Crafted by an unknown creator, this magnificent double bass features four strings that resonate with extraordinary depth and richness. Its scroll at the top is adorned with black pegs, tuners, and tuning keys, symbolizing both elegance and functionality. At its bottom rests a saddle made of striking black wood, adding a touch of sophistication to its overall appearance. Notably strung with steel strings intertwined with vibrant green fibers, this double bass exudes an aura of musical brilliance. Standing tall and proud on its endpin, it embodies both strength and grace. Housed within the esteemed National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC), this remarkable artifact represents not only Stanley Clarke's immense contribution to jazz but also serves as a testament to African-American cultural heritage in America. With his groundbreaking achievements as a jazz-fusion bassist headlining sold-out tours worldwide and achieving gold status recordings, Stanley Clarke has left an indelible mark on music history.
