Miller.A
musician that Sting has long called his right and left hand. Dominic will be on

& Paul Simon in February and March 2014.Ad Hoc ,
recorded in Germany and featuring special guest the inspirational
Eda Zari, is Dominic Miller s most impressive work to date.Zari s

to the searing cello solos by Sweden s Lars Daniellson and forms
the climax sound to an album whose textures and ambiences are as eclectic
as Miller s life itself. Miller,

guitarists, has reached in deep and pulled out a gem of an album

TONY GREY - ELEVATION
Besides
being some of the greatest musicians ever known, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter,
Hiromi, John McLaughlin, Branford Marsalis, Zakir Hussain, Mike Stern and Steve
Lukather all have something else in common. At one time or another, these
legendary artists have counted on the supportive, melodic and propulsive bass
playing of the amazing Tony Grey. Artists of such stature and virtuosity do not
trust just anybody to hold down the foundations of their music. They seek out
the best for live performances and recordings. Time and time again they have
turned toward the expertise and artistry of Tony Grey. Now,
Tony Grey releases his fourth solo album, Elevation, through Abstract Logix
Records. Elevation is a beautiful, multi-track showcase of collaboration with a
who's who of guitar and musical greats; featuring the amazing Mike Stern,
fretless guitar legend David Fiuczynski, Whitesnake's Reb Beach, Japanese star
Hotei Tomoyasu, and finally, Tony's illustrious uncle and guitar legend John
McLaughlin, who contributes a new and never-before-released composition that he
penned for Chick Corea. Tony is
responsible for all the music on Elevation, also arranging his own version of
Some Day My Prince Will Come featuring Fabrizio Sotti, along with the funky
Chick's Chums, the aforementioned song from Mahavishnu John McLaughlin. Nir
Felder, Romain Collin, and Mino Cinelu all lend their musical mastery to Tony's
tracks. Tony
stands out as not only an immensely talented bassist, but one of most
formidable writers of the next generation, whose music transcends genres,
appealing not only to the attentive, longtime fan, but also creating a musical
bridge for those new listeners about to enter the rhythmically-addictive world
of Tony Grey.
