THE BAND

The band, certainly one of the best to come out of New Orleans, is co-led by natty piano wizard Amasa MillerAmasa Miller
has been hailed as "one of the most sought after pianists in the city, and one of the freshest contributors to the New Orleans tradition." A New York transplant, he got hooked on New Orleans music after hearing the piano playing of Professor Longhair, Dr. John and James Booker. He has played with Aaron Neville, Linda Ronstadt, Steven Stills and Maria Muldaur, among others. He has recorded with Bob Dylan , Lil Queenie, Pfister Sisters , Peter Stampfel , Spider John Koerner and Makoto Kubota of Japan. His musical influences are as varied as his talents, from classical to pop, from country/western to jazz and back to rock-and-roll, from the piano playing of Abdullah Ibrahim to tango, klezmer and Gypsy swing. To put it simply, this cat can play it all!
