Melvin M. Miller LIVE @ Jazz Underground

 

With four hit projects of his own, Melvin M. Miller’s sound can be heard on a number of different projects!

Let’s talk about his latest project first.

Melvin’s latest project, “I Hope You Dance,” is a collection of songs specifically selected to convey the essence of his mother’s spirit, which includes Funky & Fresh new songs that she would have danced to! The overall vibe is designed to make you emotionally and physically moved. Some of the songs on the project include: “The Man with the Horn”, “I Hope You Dance,” “Jam,” Each of the tracks features a plethora of well-known and distinctive artists & musicians including, Mo Pleasure (Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson’s This is it Tour); Ike Stubblefield (The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye); Phil Davis (GRAMMY award winning producer & keyboardist), GRAMMY Award winning drummer, James Barrett (India Arie); drummer Jorel “JFly” Flynn (New Edition, Peabo Bryson); drummer Sonny Emory (Earth, Wind & Fire, Steely Dan, Bruce Hornsby); jazz guitarist Eric Essix; guitarist Rick Watford; vocalists Brent Carter (Tower of Power) and Toni Redd (Najee, The Stylistics) , and saxophonist Fred Vigdor.

“In the Moment” comes forth as a breath of fresh air from the one who has blown his horn internationally before crowds of thousands. The great expectations fulfilled in “In the Moment” fall right in line with the excellence that has become synonymous with Miller. The project boasts of 11 cuts, most of which are remakes, and two originals. A proud Miller states, “‘In the Moment’ was created to take listeners on a journey that causes them to think of where they were and what they were doing when they originally heard the covers (remakes.) There’s something about being taken back in time that evokes a feeling of the overall purpose of music, which is to make you feel good, to inspire joy and happiness and to sooth the soul. I think this project does that and more.”

“Here’s To Life” is truly a mixture of musical textures. The rawness of it makes it a work that covers all the emotions. You want funk, contemporary jazz, smooth jazz, sexy, traditional..ish “Here’s To Life.” “Here’s To Life” is a piece for your collection of mood setting works. It features a list of talented musicians such as Phil Davis who has played and produced for Al Jarreau, Boney James, George Howard and the list goes on; Al Smith on keyboards; Jon Roberts on bass and vocals ; Lil’ John Roberts on drums, who has been on tour with Janet Jackson; Afrika on vocals; Chanda Leigh on vocals; Jess McGrath on vocals; Daniel Moore on keyboards, vocals and everything else; Derek Scott on guitar; Antonio Allen on sax; Hank Stewart doing spoken word; Eric Essix on guitar… you want more… get your copy of “Here’s To Life”  Infused with dynamic energy,” Here’s To Life” features twelve tracks that explore an array of moods and musical genres. 7 of which were created with the help of Michael Burton. “Here’s To Life” mixes the perfect blend of hop jazz, soul, funk.

Innocent Bystander is a collection of contemporary, instrumental pop/smooth jazz pieces. It features a list of talented musicians such as Phil Davis, who has written compositions for Boney James (Body Language), Al Jarreau (Just to Be Loved), Alex Bugnon (Scirocco); Andrew Lane on keyboards; Sam Sims on bass, who has been on tour with Janet Jackson; Dean James on soprano sax, who has 3 national recordings of his own; and Lil’ John Roberts on drums, who has performed on the Velvet Rope tour with Janet Jackson and performs on the Kirk Whalum project For You, as well as the Boney James and Rick Braun project Shake IT UP.  Innocent Bystander features twelve tracks that explore various moods and musical textures.

Aaron Neville LIVE at the Alys Stephens Peforming Arts Center

Grammy Award-winning soul and R&B vocalist Aaron Neville will perform live at the Alys Stephens Center, April 13, 2013 at 8:00pm.  Neville recently released My True Story, his debut for EMI’s Blue Note Records. The record, produced by legendary Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards and Blue Note Records President Don Was, finds Neville revitalizing some of his favorite songs from the doo-wop era and beyond.

“Aaron Neville is one of the most expressive and soulful artists of all time,” Was says. “It’s such a thrill to hear him sing. His vocals have a way of reaching into your heart and stirring something really deep inside.”

A stellar group of session players was assembled for this record as well. In addition to Richards on guitar, other musicians include Greg Leisz (guitarist for Beck, Sheryl Crow, Bob Dylan) and Benmont Tench on organ (founding member of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers). While these accomplished artists will not be joining Neville on tour, the New Orleans native will be accompanied by his dynamic, top-notch tour band. Join us for an incredible evening of music from one of our all-time favorite performers.
