CERCIE MILLER
Alto saxophonist Cercie Miller has been a dynamic presence on Boston’s jazz scene since 1986, when she founded the Cercie Miller Jazz Quartet and the avant-garde jazz collective, Your Neighborhood Saxophone Quartet.

The Jazz Times calls her saxophone style “spirited and spunky” while the BostonGlobe describes her solos as “torrid” and “scorching.”

Jazz critic, Jack Bowers says in review of her new CD, Blue Vistas, “No, Cercie Miller isn’t another aspiring Jazz singer…she’s a saxophonist, and a damn good one too. …Miller has a sound all her own, and a keen, articulate point of view to go with it. In reading the liners, I found that Miller and I have at least one thing in common — we both grew up in Washington, D.C. As far as I can see, that’s where we part company. I got the looks, she got the talent. (Actually, she got the looks too.) Talent she definitely has, in abundance, an assertion we hope you might endeavor to verify by granting Blue Vistas an audition.”
