Stanley Clarke at Catalina Jazz Club

A revolutionary force on bass guitar, Stanley Clarke set a new template for jazz fusion with his 1976 album “School Daze,� and he hasn’t slowed down since. Between stints joining Chick Corea in multiple twists on their days partnered in the group Return to Forever, Clarke’s solo material has remained challenging and frequently funky, including a Grammy-nominated album in 2010 that featured keyboardist Hiromi and drummer Ronald Bruner Jr. (also known as brother to bassist and rising star on the Brainfeeder label, Thundercat). Catalina Jazz Club, 6725 Sunset Blvd., L.A. Thu.-Sat. $30-$40. https://www.catalinajazzclub.com.
