I mentioned Mr. Mulgrew Miller earlier this week.  I always like to find a performance from the musicians that I mention here.  Thankfully YouTube is always there to help out.  They have videos for everything there.

Mulgrew spent a lot of time playing for other greats before he went out on his own.  He has been part of some legendary bands.  At the same time, he also fronted some great bands.  Like many talented jazz musicians, he had a knack for finding the right people to back him up and young talent.

This is from one of his trios.  It features Mulgrew Miller of piano, Ira Coleman on bass, and Mark Johnson on drums.  You can do a lot with just three musicians in jazz.  This is the tune “I Hear a Rhapsody.”
