Today, the Spotlight shines On guitarist Dominic Miller, a musician unique in his ability to fit in and contribute as a sideman, but also to step up as a band leader.

Dominic may be best known as guitarist—and in his own words, "Lieutenant"—for Sting, a position he has filled for over 30 years, but he has been creating his own diverse body of work for many decades as well.

Dominic joined Spotlight On to talk about his latest release, Vagabond (ECM Records), an instrumental album rich in narrative—and subtle taste.

In addition to exploring the new album, we also get great insight into how Dominic's work as a solo artist and session musician contributes to his work with Sting and more about his aspirations and aims as an artist.
