Product Review

Guitarist Miller whose "ability to express emotion through a guitar is amazing to hear" has created an album colored by a distinct atmosphere. Absinthe finds the guitarist fronting a quintet that brings his ever-lyrical compositions to textured life. Miller has a key harmonic-melodic foil in the bandoneon, with keyboard tones adding a ghostly air, and bass rooting the sound. Vividly present on drums is Manu Katche an ECM veteran and for years Miller's colleague in Sting's band.
