Dominic Miller: Vagabond

Read "Vagabond" reviewed by Cary Tenenbaum


The third album by guitarist Dominic Miller echoes the melodic, moody, romantic sounds of a Sting album without lyrics or singing. What we hear is the instrumental interplay of Miller with pianist Jacob Karlzon, bassist Nicolas Fiszman and drummer Ziv Ravitz. The comparison is not surprising as Miller has played with Sting for the last 30 years. He co-wrote one of Sting's hits, 1993's “Shape Of My Heart." Maybe, in fact, Sting's albums are really Dominic Miller records with lyrics ...

Dominic Miller: Absinthe

Read "Absinthe" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Guitarist Dominic Miller''s 2017 ECM debut Silent Light was a low key affair that focused on his solo classical guitar (plus a bit of light percussion).

The album opens ...

Dominic Miller con Silent Light firma il suo album al tempo stesso più ambizioso, delicato e riuscito.

La prima è la scelta di un album solo (o quasi-solo, visto che qua e là Miller decide di ...

Dominic Miller: Silent Light

Read "Silent Light" reviewed by Mark Sullivan


Classical guitarist Dominic Miller makes his ECM debut with a largely solo program. It's a gentle, lyrical affair, reflecting his experience living in Argentina, the United States, England, and France, as well as decades of international touring as a working musician. The Brazilian influence is especially strong in pieces like opener “What You Didn't Say" and “Baden" (dedicated to Brazilian guitarist/composer Baden Powell). Percussionist Miles Bould plays with a light touch, reminiscent of Brazilian percussionist Nana Vasconcelos' playing with guitarist ...
