Mulgrew was a totally amazing musician and a beautiful human being. ❤🎹🙏🏼

[@mrnoname7799]

What a beautiful cat! The best are often the most humble. How fortunate to have been able to talk so extensive with him before his untimely passing. Swing on Mulgrew!!

[@VinceDarnellBlair]

I apologize... we need positivity today. Thanks for pushing to provide this

[@paxwallacejazz]

Mr. Miller simultaneously represents the direct lineage from Tatum through Oscar but also represents the integration of all the more modern non-diatonic harmonic approaches including non-diatonic intervalic lines with a focus on all the chromatically altered harmonies and their resulting linear implications, re-harmonization but what makes him musical is a relaxed focus that he mentioned to me in my one conversation with him.

[@ChrisLeePiano]

Mulgrew is of the biggest influences for me to learn and practice piano. I keep listening to his live albums and always get touched by his playing. Just so regretful that i didn't get to see him live. What a wonderful and warm character he is. RIP. Your music lives forever Mr. Miller

[@aprilgirl52]

What a class act and treasure. He is sorely missed but thankfully his music lives on.

Thank you Jonah for this video. I'm just a beginner jazz pianist. His thoughts here are invaluable for me. I will watch this clip again. Just sad to know he is no longer. Salute to him. Thanks again.

WHILE IN MSU, I WANTED TO MAJOR IN MUSIC AND PIANO . BUT SINCE MY PASSION WAS IN ELECTRONICS, I STILL KEEP MY MIND ON MUSIC AND PIANO. THEN, I MET MULGREW MILLER MULGREW MILLER MET AT MEMPHIS STATE UNIVERSITY IN THE 1970'S I WAS PURSUING A BACHELOR DEGREE IN ELECTRONIC ENGINEER MULGREW MILLER TAUGHT ME MY 1ST PIANO LESSON "YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE". WE WERE IN A PRACTICE PIANO ROOM. AT MEMPHIS STATE UNIVERSITY AND MULGREW MILLER INVITED ME IN.. SO I STARTED COMING BY THE PRACTICE PIANO ROOM ON A REGULAR BASIS I BOUGHT A STEVIE COMPOSITION "YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY LIFE". I PUT THE MUSIC BEFORE HIM AND WOW! HE PLAYED LIKE HE OWNED IT I DIDN'T KNOW HOW MULGREW MILLER WOULD BECOME A GREAT JAZZ ARTIST I WAS IN FORT WORTH AT A JAZZ CLUB AND MET BETTY CARTER MULGREW MILLER PLAYED JAZZ FOR BETTY CARTER.

[@prestoncole8614]

Excellent interview. I send my condolence not only to a great lost of the jazz world, but to his family as well. I pray and hope you make it through your lost. However, I have learnt so much about the man and his music. Mulgrew Miller RIP and thank you Johan Johnathan.

[@g6martin]

[@inkognito8400]

I love Mr. Miller.Such an amazing pianist and !then! a beautiful personality. I‘m so sad that I never got to hear him live, I‘m too young and come out of Germany.

[@IRACEMABABU]

Great human being ! RIP

[@DaveSolazzo]

great interview!! i got to see mulgrew play live twice, and im so glad i did. he was a master!

[@lee95757]

I saw a couple of your interviews and I really like the informality and historical significance. Great job. It's hard to believe Mulgrew is gone but the future of Jazz lies within guys like you my brotha.

[@mikecallahan1879]

Hey Jonathan, Great interview of one of my favorite humans. I've seen many Mulgrew interviews and I've holding this one till I had the time, and today there's a blizzard in NYC. I've got his recording's but I miss the gigs and the interactions after so much. And when I think of him, my next thoughts are about James Williams and Harold Mabern. All of them gone too early./

[@darwinmartin8129]

Mulgrew Miller's playing on Cassandra Wilson's"Blue Skies"is amazing..one of the most unique voices in jazz piano...he will be sorely missed.This guy deserved higher recognition.

[@charlesbrazell2136]

Yes I have that cd by Wilson also and it's a great album; too bad the personnel that made that album didn't get together and make another; it's a masterpiece. 12-22-23.

[@MrJazzmen78]

Very good performance. I really like the left hand harmony but also the long lines in his right hand improvisation. His style was somewhat similar to Kenny Barron which is also one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing.

[@convey55]

EXCELLENT interview. A teacher indeed!

[@phenius3]

Great interview and that you captured it in time, thanks!

[@joeb434]
