Welcome to markjmiller.net. 
I am a freelance trombonist living in New York City.  I am also a composer, arranger, copyist and vocalist.  If you would like to see me play, please check out my schedule to the right, then come on down and be sure to say hello.  I would also like to invite you to listen to some of the recently released CDs on which I appear.

"Green" is the first recording of G.R.A.S.S. (the Gowanus Reggae And Ska Society).  The Brooklyn based band covers classic Jamaican music and features Michael Blake on tenor sax, Tony Romano on guitar, Nate Shaw on keys, J. Granelli on bass, Russ Meisner on drums and myself.  (To be released in the summer of 2009.)

"The Return of Slide Huxtable" is the debut CD from my long time Minneapolis based quartet Slide Huxtable.  It features myself, Bill Bergmann on guitar, Chris Bates on bass and J.T. Bates on drums.  The album contains nine tracks, four of which are my original compositions.  The album is now available for sale on the "Music" page of this website and on CD Baby.com.

"El Medico de Coqui" is a beautiful new CD from Nicki Denner featuring the late, great singer Julian Llanos.  It features Denner's innovative arrangements of traditional Latin love songs - son, bolero and cha-cha-chá - with a hint Latin jazz.   This album also showcases Julian's enormous, lush voice and the artful soneos of a master salsero.  He will be greatly missed.

I play and endorse SE Shires Trombones.
