Album Notes & Community Reviews

Virtuoso bassist Stanley Clarke steered heavily toward a commercial, radio-friendly sound with 'Rocks, Pebbles and Sand'. While still showcasing his extraordinary slap-bass technique, the album incorporates prominent vocal tracks and slick, AOR-inspired rock arrangements. The stylistic pivot successfully expanded his audience beyond traditional jazz fusion enthusiasts.
