Stanley Clarke is a Contemporary R&B and Funk act. Their catalogue also touches Jazz and Rock. Their sound grew out of Jaco Pastorius, Paul McCartney, Larry Graham, George Duke and Jean-Luc Ponty. Those roots explain a lot about how Stanley Clarke arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Marcus Miller, Billy Cobham, Victor Wooten, The Crusaders and Chick Corea, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Down with Webster, Greydon Square, Jeff Beck, Maynard Ferguson and Dusty Hill, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
