  • Bio

    ............ ....Myspace Layouts.. at Pimp-My-Profile.com / ..Black&table.. .. Jazz trumpeter and educator Brice Miller has accomplished more at age 34 then most people accomplish in a lifetime. The youngest son of New Orleans musician Dwight Miller, Brice became a fixture on the brass band and second-line cultural scene. By seventh grade Brice was studying the cornet, learning from Louis Armstrong’s “Hot 5” and “Hot 7” recordings. By age 14, Brice had become a fixture performing in Jackson Square and along Royal Street in the famed New Orleans French Quarter, learning from elder musicians such as Anthony “Tuba Fats” Lacen, Robert Harris, Danny Barker, Kermit Ruffins, and a host of local musicians. In 1991, Brice established his own brass band, Mahogany, and began embracing the traditional repertoire of New Orleans while injecting a youthful and hard-swinging element reminiscent of the bands from yesteryear. In 1994, Brice created Brice Miller Productions, a music entertainment company providing a wide range of “New Orleans” style entertainment for conventions, festivals, parades, private events, weddings, and international engagements. BMP has become the 1 “musician” owned and operated entertainment provider in New Orleans. Since age 17, Brice has traveled the world sharing his charismatic stage presence and solid-laidback playing style. As a classically trained, traditionally studied, post-bop influenced trumpeter, Brice has a unique style all his own; resembling a Louis Armstrong, Louis Prima, Lee Morgan, Chet Baker, Miles Davis, Randy Brecker hybrid. A well-versed and professional musician, Brice has become one the most in-demand trumpeters in New Orleans! In December 1997, Brice graduated Xavier University with his B.A., Music Education and began teaching at Sarah T. Reed High School. After being nominated as “one of the top 10 music educators” in New Orleans by the International Jazz Education Association in 1998, Brice was hand-picked to create and facilitate the Jazz Studies Program for New Orleans Public Schools in 2000. Brice has worked effortlessly to create a nationally recognized jazz education program, including consortium programs with the; National Louis Armstrong Foundation, Jazz @ Lincoln Center, University of New Orleans, Jazz & Heritage Foundation, and the Mayors’ Office of New Orleans… to name a few. Though his family and business suffered extreme loss due to hurricane Katrina, Brice has been moving ahead at 100 mph! Brice has always been known as a "Go-Getter" and has been "shakin' and moving" as he's always done!
