Stage Door Johnny


Just discovered a really cool album of Broadway covers the other day.  It is by Broadway Theater vet John Miller.  He has been the music coordinator for over 100 Broadway/off-Broadway shows.  This is his first solo cd and it is really great.



There are some really nice fresh versions of Broadway classics.  WOULDN'T IT BE LOVERLY has a James Taylor vibe to it,  I WON'T GROW UP gets funky, and you hear I CAN'T SAY NO from a guy's perspective!  

John doesn't have the world's best voice, but I really dig the interpretations.  He reminds me of a cross between James Taylor and jazz artist John Pizzarelli. 

Check him out on itunes and hear samples.
