Dominic Miller: Silent Light

Read "Silent Light" reviewed by Geno Thackara


Dominic Miller is a guitarist you've undoubtedly heard somewhere or other, whether you've knowingly heard of him or not. A life circling the globe (from Argentina to England and currently France) has let him absorb folk, Baroque and Latin American sensibilities, among other things, which leads to collaborations with similarly eclectic names. His widest exposure has been with numerous tours alongside Sting, who's happy to offer some poetic words of praise in the liners here alongside Paul Simon. Miller's ECM ...

Dominic Miller: From Sting to ECM

Read "Dominic Miller: From Sting to ECM" reviewed by Luca Muchetti


Dominic Miller's debut album for ECM, Silent Light, has all the qualities to become a sensation. After a career spanning nearly five decades during which he has lent his versatile artistry to the likes of Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Steve Winwood, Peter Gabriel, and Sting since 1993, Miller has released a very intimate and elegant quasi-solo album for Manfred Eicher's label. This record, the eleventh as a leader or co- leader, is a honest self-portrait in music, reflecting Miller's international ...

Dominic Miller: dalla corte di Sting a quella di Manfred Eicher

Read "Dominic Miller: dalla corte di Sting a quella di Manfred Eicher" reviewed by Luca Muchetti


La prima volta di Dominic Miller per la blasonata ECM Records ha tutte le caratteristiche di un vero evento discografico. Miller, chitarrista fra i più versatili in circolazione e che ha legato il suo nome a un'ormai storica militanza in studio e dal vivo accanto a Sting dai tempi di The Soul Cages (era il 1991, ma nell'infinito curriculum ci sono anche Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Steve Winwood e Peter Gabriel, per dirne alcuni), ha dato vita a un quasi-solo ...

Sarah Jane Morris: Cello Songs

Read "Cello Songs" reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


All'Italia, Sarah Jane Morris, non rinuncerebbe mai. Neanche se il Bel Paese a volte può trasformarsi nell'ultima delle periferie del mondo, dove furbi di quartiere e ladri di mestiere farebbero di tutto per sporcare l'innocenza, l'umiltà e l'impegno. E in questo nuovo lavoro c'è ancora una volta un po' d'Italia. Un paio di tributi ad artisti molto diversi, ma legati da un sentimento di italianità da esportazione: Ennio Morricone, nella rilettura con testo di “Love Is Pain" dalla colonna sonora ...

Sting: If on a Winter's Night...

Read "If on a Winter's Night..." reviewed by AAJ Italy Staff


Stai per cominciare ad ascoltare il nuovo CD di Sting, If on a Winter's Night.... Rilassati. Raccogliti. Allontana da te ogni altro pensiero. Lascia che il mondo che ti circonda sfumi nell'indistinto. Meglio ancora se fuori nevica. Meglio ancora se l'inverno bussa alla tua porta. Prendi la posizione più comoda: seduto, sdraiato, raggomitolato, coricato. Non che t'aspetti qualcosa di particolare da questo CD. Sei uno che per principio non s'aspetta più niente da niente. Sai che il meglio che ci ...

Dominic Miller: First Touch

Read "First Touch" reviewed by Jim Santella


Employing fingerstyle guitar and picked melodies, the smooth jazz album First Touch represents Dominic Miller's first session as a leader. No stranger to the recording industry, the guitarist has worked with such notables as Sting, Phil Collins, and Tina Turner. This 1995 debut album features his overdubbed guitars with additional support on several tracks provided by guests.

The songs, Miller's own compositions, represent the easy-listening genre with their floating melodies, pleasant harmonies, and loping “soft touch" rhythms. Specific images sprout, ...
