Orb 1012

<We Heard the Voice of a Porkchop>

We Heard The Voice Of A Porkchop finds Orville Johnson, John Miller and Grant Dermody returning to the Country Blues they love, but with an expanded focus that takes in the Black Vaudeville-influenced title track, John's original instrumental Down To The Hills, and Grant's haunting I'd Do It All Again. The trio rings the changes on these songs, offering fresh new versions of classics like Take Me Back and I Shall Not Be Moved, bringing their personal touches to the music while staying in the style.

You Fascinate Me So - Ginny Snowe & John Miller

Orb-1009

You Fascinate Me So

This CD finds John Miller accompanying vocalist Ginny Snowe on a sparkling program of Jazz standards and Brazilian classics. The program encompasses everything from Hoagy Carmichael’s Skylark to Burt Bacharach’s Alfie and Gilberto Gil’s anthemic Quilombo. If you are looking for an exciting singer/guitarist duo, you need look no further.

Traveling Home - Ginny Snowe

Orb 1008

Traveling Home

This program of original compositions by pianist Ginny Snowe takes the listener on a musical journey with a ballad inspired by the New England countryside (Sandy Pond), a bolero conjuring up a smoky Havana bistro (Lantano), and some sweet goodbyes. Beautiful tunes sensitively played by a lovely pianist.

Road Trip - John Reischman & John Miller

Corvus CR021

Road Trip

Road Trip is John and John's first new CD together in eleven years, and signals some fresh new additions to their sound. They are joined on several tracks by Cary Black on bass and Joel Litwin on drums, and the expanded ensemble sound really shines on Road Trip and Freshet. The core of the duo's sound is still present in abundance, to be heard on tunes like John Reischman's choro, Passeio do Figo, and John Miller's waltz, Reminiscence. John Reischman's mandola playing on Stay, Stay and Quilombo is a special treat, too.

Freshet

Orb 1006

Freshet

This Finnish-American collaboration unites Finnish mandolin virtuoso Petri Hakala and bass ace Tapani Varis, with Ruthie Dornfeld on violin and John Miller on guitar. The all-instrumental program focuses primarily on original tunes in a host of styles, samba, choro, polskas, waltzes, and the amazing unclassifiable Purple Sea, by the Finnish composer Timo Alakotila.

The Bumpy Road - John Reischman & John Miller

Corvus Records CR009

The Bumpy Road

The Bumpy Road continues in the vein established by The Singing Moon, with hits like Kenny's Gone, Danza, The Three Lions and Snake Eyes, but with some notable differences. John Miller steps forward more often into a soloing role, and singer Cora Lee Tonack joins the duo for the eerie The Path Downhill. John Reischman expresses himself with the sumptuous tone and grace we've come to expect from his playing.

Orb-1004

Rue Balkan

Ruth Hunter, on voice, accordion and tambura and Ruthie Dornfeld on violin bring you an unlikely assortment of songs and tunes--from Finland, France, the Balkans and beyond. What holds these pieces together is the amazing beauty of the music itself--rich, lively, wistful, evocative.
