Stanley Clarke Performing at GPAC on November 5

The word "legend" was used to describe Stanley Clarke by the time he was 25 years old.  As a member of Return to Forever with pianist Chick Corea, Stanley was the first bassist in history to double on acoustic and electric bass with equal virtuosity.  He has won every award imaginable and has headlined sold-out concerts across the globe. 

I began piano lessons at age 6, trumpet at age 9, and began teaching myself the guitar at 10. My electronics knowledge comes from my father, who had the RCA television and stereo shop in my hometown of Pocahontas, Arkansas for nearly 20 years. My dad is still fixing televisions at age 79.
