MILLER TIME AT MY FATHER’S PLACE — Robert Miller and his Project Grand Slam aggregation delivered a home run last night at My Father’s Place in Roslyn. The legendary club now resides in The Roslyn Hotel.
Miller and company, who is coming off his PGS 7 album, just soared with their signature hits (like “Gorilla” with a fabulous bass solo by Miller) and new tracks off his next album. “Constable On Patrol” and ‘Stockbridge Fanfare” being two of the highlights. The interplay between the musicians was just sensational; especially guitarist Tristan Clark and saxophonist Alex Silver.
Miller’s two keyboardists, Baden Goyo and Marcello Casagrandi, drummer Joel Mateo and percussionist Guillermo Barron, also were terrific as was lead-vocalist Marilyn Castillo who truly delivered the goods. As a jazz/fusion enthusiast from way back this show was like manna from heaven. Perfect night in Roslyn.
