Mulgrew Miller - Live At The Kennedy Center, Vol. 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

LIVE AT THE KENNEDY CENTER (Volume 2) features a sumptuous selection of songs from a trio that shifts seamlessly from hard-driving grooves to soft ballads, all with a distinct sound that has made Mulgrew Miller one of the most in-demand pianists in jazz. Similar to his critically acclaimed Maxjazz releases, Live At Yoshi's, LIVE AT THE KENNEDY CENTER Volume Two offers exciting jazz in a live setting.

Miller takes it to the next level now by recording his first live album. Recorded July 22-23, 2003, at Yoshi's at Jack London Square - one of the world's premiere jazz clubs - Live At Yoshi's (Volume One) is Miller's second on MAXJAZZ. Unlike The Sequel, where he presented eight original tunes, on Live At Yoshi's, Miller puts his stamp on ageless standards in an intimate trio . Miller's trio is comprised of Derrick Hodge on bass and Karriem Riggins, who played on The Sequel, on drums.

Having played with some of the greatest names in jazz including, the Ellinton Orchestra, David Sanborn, Freddie Hubbard, Cassandra Wilson and others, Mulgrew Miller has made a name for himself. His greatest accomplishment though was forming Wingspan 15 years, a collective group of stunning musicians!! the Sequel is comprised primarily of original Melgrew Miller compositions and is a must for fans of piano jazz!
