About this pressing

Released in 1976 on Atlantic, School Days is the landmark solo album by bassist Stanley Clarke, a defining statement of the jazz fusion era. With his virtuosic electric bass playing at the center, Clarke blends funk, rock, and jazz into a powerful, groove-driven set that influenced generations of bassists and fusion musicians.

The title track quickly became Clarke’s signature piece, showcasing his percussive slap-bass technique and melodic inventiveness. Throughout the album, he’s joined by top fusion players including George Duke, John McLaughlin, Billy Cobham, and Gerry Brown, creating music that is both technically dazzling and irresistibly funky.

Explosive, funky, and groundbreaking, School Days remains one of the essential bass-driven albums of the 1970s and a cornerstone of jazz fusion.
