Mulgrew Miller continues to be a vital contributor in the world of Jazz. His impact upon the scene since his arrival in the late seventies has been made through his many recordings and his tenure with some of the most important bands of the eighties and nineties. Although highly esteemed as a skilled, swinging accompanist and inventive soloist for many years, by veterans and "young lions" alike, Mulgrew has emerged as a leader of vision and a significant composer. He has in recent years appeared throughout Europe, Japan, Australia, Canada and the U.S. with his own trio, and his reputable quintet "Wingspan".
In a 1995 New York Times poll consisting of his peers, Mulgrew was voted the most in-demand pianist. In the same poll, the venerable Hank Jones listed him as one of his favorite pianists. His extensive discography reveals that he is undoubtedly the most recorded pianist of his generation with well over 400 recordings as a leader and sideman.
Much has been written about Miller's ever-evolving style, which now exhibits a very personal way with melody, harmony, and rhythmic feeling, forged from his longtime associations with many innovative Jazz legends including Woody Show, Art Blakey, Betty Carter, Benny Golson, Johnny Griffin, and Tony Williams.
The Mulgrew Miller Trio will be at Andy's Jazz Club,
