If you like to listen to a great traditional straight ahead Jazz piano trio playing, Dave Miller's new CD "The Mask-erade is Over" will be perfect for you. Dave Miller who has his own playing personality can at times remind you of some your favorite Jazz pianists like George Shearing, Bill Evans and Ahmad Jamal. Bill covers a lot of ground in this CD and brings his Jazz personality center stage on a great selection of standards.
Dave's daughter is the super-talented singer Rebecca DuMaine and Dave and his trio have often recorded with Rebecca on her CDs.
I have selected two YouTubes videos for your listening pleasure. The first song is "Be Careful It's My Heart". Dave was inspired by Peggy Lee's version with one of his Piano heroes, George Shearing. The second song is a Dave Brubeck gem, "In Your Own Sweet Way". The playlist of songs on this CD are from a diverse outstanding group of composers: Charlie Parker, Bill Evans, Noel Coward, Irving Berlin and Ray Henderson. Take a moment to review the fun playlist below.
