John Miller: Takes On Broadway

John Miller sings, plays bass and acoustic guitar while serving up clever and original arrangements of classic Broadway songs. His mix and match team of musicians range from compact quartets to large orchestras. Miller’s voice and delivery are reminiscent of vintage 70s singer/songwriters like Kenny Rankin and Jim Croce-casual, relaxed and clever. Miller’s a hoot wit B3er Ted Baker on a fun role reversal read of “I Can’t Say No” and his electric bass bounces along with his voice on a funky “I Won’t Grow Up.” He gets frisky on “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly” and singing with Bob Dorough and Janis Siegel slinks into a C&W take of “Fugue For Tinhorns.” All of the pieces are re-invented, and work well, lasting past the initial sparkle.
