SMV was a bass guitar supergroup formed in 2008. The group's name comes from the first initials of each of its members—Stanley Clarke, Marcus Miller, and Victor Wooten.[1]
The collaboration gained momentum when the three first played together at a concert held by Bass Player magazine in New York City in 2006, where Miller and Wooten joined on stage to present Clarke with the magazine's Lifetime Achievement Award.[2]
SMV's debut album, Thunder, was released on August 12, 2008, with a supporting world tour beginning the same month.[3][4]
