Panther

The opening track of The Sun Don't Lie.
Marcus Miller, from The Sun Don't Lie (1993)

Miller wrote it. PS Audio says he plays bass clarinet, bass guitar and keyboards on it and the first half of the guitar solo, with Dean Brown taking the second half, and that his skills are on a rare plane inhabited by Prince. A live version at 9:06 is track two of Live & More (1997, Dreyfus Jazz), recorded in 1996, which reached 6 on the contemporary jazz chart; whether a separate Panther/Live release of 2004 is a different recording is unverified. We found no artist commentary on the subject, no chart history for it, no setlist.fm count, and no covers or samples.
