About Robert Miller and Project Grand Slam
Rockwood Music Hall welcomes Robert Miller's Project Grand Slam as they return to the venue to celebrate the release of their 5th album "The PGS Experience". The reviews for the album have been glowing including from Jazz Quad; "The PGS Experience' will take a special place in the discography of this famous band!"
Robert Miller's Project Grand Slam is a New York-based Jazz Rock Fusion band with a twist of Classic Rock and Latin, which has earned over one million video views while defying genres, languages and geographic boundaries. Gashouse Radio says: ???Robert Miller???s Project Grand Slam deserves mentioning as among the best musical acts produced by American culture in the last quarter century!???
The band???s new, 5th CD, ???The PGS Experience???, is a combination of five new studio tracks and four live performances. The album features Special Guest Artist Mindi Abair, renowned saxophonist and two-time Grammy nominee, on two of Robert???s new original studio songs: ???Fishin???, with its laid back Island vibe, and ???Metro Shuffle???, a funky ode to Robert???s hometown of New York City and it???s wonderfully hectic pace. About her appearance on the album Mindi Abair says: "I loved playing on Project Grand Slam's CD! Robert's songs are terrific and the band has such incredible energy and great musicianship!"
Other new studio tracks include ???Hollywood???, an upbeat, driving song by Robert that captures the frenetic Tinseltown pace, and two new unique PGS-style covers arranged by Robert: Cream???s ???I???m So Glad???, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Cream???s debut album containing that song, and ???Free??? by the jam band super group Phish.
The live tracks are songs that have previously been released as studio cuts by PGS and which capture the amazing energy and musicianship of the band in concert. They include two of Robert???s originals: ???Gorilla???, a powerhouse ???arena??? song, and ???The Queen???s Carnival???, a Latin fiesta, and two of Robert???s signature reimagined Classic Rock covers: The Kinks??? ???You Really Got Me???, praised by Dave Davies, and Jimi Hendrix???s ???Fire???, PGS???s incredible concert closer song.
Robert says; ???I feel like ???The PGS Experience??? captures the band better and more fully than any of our previous albums. Our music drives the line between rock and jazz. The power and emotion of the music, the diversity of the songs, and the studio tracks together with the live performances, all combine to showcase the band better than ever before. I am thrilled to have the incredibly talented Mindi Abair as our Special Guest.???
PGS has cultivated a fervent, worldwide fan base fueled in large part by the Latin/Caribbean-infused title track from the band???s 4th studio album, ???The Queen???s Carnival??? (2016). No Depression praised the album as ???a uniquely affecting work???impossibly memorable!???
The band has shared the stage with such artists as Mindi Abair, Boney James (twice), YES and Scott Weiland (formerly of Stone Temple Pilots), and performed at numerous major venues. In 2017 PGS has and will be performing at upcoming Music Festivals in Jamaica, St. Kitts, Detroit and Alabama as well as Mayo PAC (w/Blues Traveler) and Ridgefield Playhouse (w/Boney James for the second time).
