Album DescriptionAfter being a sideman on more than two dozen jazz recordings, drummer Jim Miller finally releases a project as a leader. "With his characteristic flexibility, one that makes it sometime seem as if he's physically steering the band around the turns of whatever tune is rolling past" (-Cadence), Miller presents a unique cymbal solo, nine original compositions and a fairly radical arrangement of 'Cool' from 'West Side Story.' Called "the orchestrational drummer of choice" in Jazz Player magazine, Jim's first CD is indelibly stamped with his personality, blending the best of jazz's last 25 years with humor and ultimately, serious politics.
