Lloyd Miller- A Lifetime in Oriental Jazz

An unmatched spirit for sonic and cultural adventure led Dr. Lloyd Miller to develop a wealth of knowledge in ethnological blends of jazz music and multi-instrumental competency the world has yet to reproduce. Spending much of the 60s and 70s acquiring a doctorate in Persian music and Middle Eastern Studies, Miller performed with an array of jazz and traditional musicians throughout his residencies in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East all the while learning dozens of languages and becoming proficient with hundreds of instruments. For 50 years, Miller immersed himself in the regional jazz music spanning from the West Coast to the Far East obtaining a wealth of experiences and a wildly authentic musical education. A Lifetime in Oriental Jazz is a collection of rarities compiled by Jazzman Records of Miller performing with a deluge of musicians from across the Old World supplying his spiritual jazz using a staggering variety of exotic instruments; an enduring auditory chronicle of his monumental musical odyssey.
