Description

RJ performs new works and music from his recently released solo album FREE SOUL. “Electronic music comes in all sounds, colors, and textures, but drummer RJ Miller exploits the ambient side with chilled themes and moody soundscapes. The soul in the machine lies in the way Miller expertly juxtaposes his drum kit with piano, keyboards, and analog synthesizers through infectious melodies that move and groove.” — Mark F. Turner, All About Jazz 2013 “I have always loved jazz and electronic music,” says drummer RJ Miller. Long a fixture on the New York City and European jazz and experimental music scenes, the globe trotting, Maine-bred drummer and composer can be heard on recordings like “Alive in Japan” (Aaron Parks), “Ben Entrada La Nit” (Bill McHenry), and his own electronic solo debut album “Ronald’s Rhythm” (2013). Miller will be performing new works along with some of the music from his recently released solo album FREE SOUL. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Doors open at 7:30 pm| Show starts at 8:00 pm.
