Jeff Miley
Always a willing collaborator, guitarist Jeff Miley has partnered up with a slew of talented folks over the past few decades - resulting in a steady stream of original music releases from the likes of The Odd Dogs, bug, Suburban Alphabet, Code 3, The Three Jazzmen, Inga Swearingen, and Altered. Reviews of his music and his guitar playing have appeared in JazzWise Magazine (U.K.), Guitar Player Magazine (in which he was a Spotlight Award Winner), Gendai Guitar (Japan), and The Himalayan Times (Nepal), among others. He has performed all over the United States, as well as Canada, Mexico, Europe, and Asia. Jeff received his Bachelor of Music Degree from California State University, Northridge, where he was a recipient of the Andres Segovia Performance Award from the American Guitar Society. During this time he was also a member of the first guitar ensemble to ever perform at the Tokyo International Chamber Music Festival. Jeff is known for having rock-solid time, a strong sense of melody and groove, for being a good reader with a good ear who learns parts quickly, and for his skills as a creative improviser and as a supportive rhythm section player. His easy-going personality and strong work ethic are what has endeared him to so many in the music scene. As a sideman, he has performed with Ron Miles, Tim Ries, Jon Anderson (Yes), Ernie Watts, Bob Sheppard, Bobby Shew, Andy Martin, Josh Roseman, Adam Benjamin, Bob Reynolds, Wayne Bergeron, and many others. On the educational front, Jeff has taught and performed at music clinics all over the world. He is equally comfortable in front of a large group or in a one-on-one private music lesson. In Jeff’s eyes (and ears) music is all about communication, whether it’s performing, or teaching, or listening and learning. Jeff teaches at the following fine institutions: Cuesta College (San Luis Obispo), Cal Poly Pomona, and the Los Angeles College of Music.

“His unexpected melodic leaps and imaginitive chording inexorably draw you in, delivering a nice balance of atmosphere and aggression.”

I’ve got a new album out with a new band! I co-wrote most of the music with my good friend Steve Billman. (as well as co-writing one tune with Ralph Humphrey) I also mixed the album, and of course played tons of guitar on this thing. Check it out using the links below.
