About this album

School Days is Stanley Clarke’s breakthrough jazz-funk statement, and one of the clearest demonstrations that the electric bass could lead an album rather than simply underpin it. Released in 1976, it blends tight funk, jazz improvisation and fusion-era precision into a set that made Clarke a reference point for bass players far beyond jazz. The title track became his signature piece, while cuts such as Quiet Afternoon and Life Is Just A Game show the record’s range from lyricism to high-energy groove. Its blend of technical brilliance and memorable hooks helped make School Days a landmark of 1970s jazz fusion.
