Album Reviews

The Paul Miller Soul Show, BBC Radio UK, Jan 2013
At last, a new album from one of the best smooth jazz artists in the world. Duncan Millar has only released a handful of albums, but each one has been a masterpiece.
"Fresh Air" sees Duncan working alongside a full band, featuring some of London's best soul and jazz-funk musicians, and the result is stunning. Fantastic album in every way, and a future classic for sure...

It's been too long since we've heard the infectious grooves and melodic keys playing of Duncan Millar, who released two well-received Smooth Jazz CDs more than a decade ago on legendary Instinct Records. But the U.K. native and MOBO nominee is officially back and better than ever with the aptly titled FRESH AIR! Add the skills of one the U.K.'s top talents along with a musical mix of influences including Samba, funk and even waltz, and you have a well-rounded project perfect for repeated listening. The first single, the title track "Fresh Air," is upbeat and oh-so-catchy, with backing sax from Jacko Peake. Mostly, though, the CD explores sensual and laid-back grooves, from the eye-closing sweetness of "Ilhabela," the after-hours vibe of "Belmondo" and the smooth, jazz-club feel of "Subcontinental." Millar varies his acoustic playing with electric piano, as well as Fender Rhodes and Wurlitzer organ runs. It all adds up to a remarkable Smooth Jazz CD from someone who's been gone too long. Welcome back, Duncan! Brian Soergel

His name, face and music are extremely well known and recognized on the other side of the pond, but for many of us on this side of the globe, Duncan Millar's invigorating 2013 album Fresh Air, is simply what the title infers. Like a refreshing, rejuvenating breeze across the Atlantic, Millar is one of the freshest new sounds to hit the contemporary jazz charts in 2013. Before exploring his new release on his own record label, Warmday Records, it should be noted that the keyboardist/pianist is not unfamiliar with chart and worldwide success. He was one half of the U.K. pop-dance duo Blue Mercedes which had notable success on the Billboard Dance charts in the late 1980s, including their number one hit "I Want To Be Your Property". Millar late went on to produce dance tracks for other acts, before hitting the recording studio himself to record an acid jazz album and two smooth jazz records. With such an impressive resume and inarguable talent as a writer, producer, and musician, Millar gives the contemporary jazz genre a release of innovatively blended jazz, chill, and acid jazz overtones. Millar is simply brilliant in every aspect of the project with piano/keyboard melodies, arrangements and precision production talents, backed up and by an exceptional group of studio musicians who innovatively complement every one the 10 tracks on Fresh Air. The title song is fun, fresh, bouncy, and an ultimate 'feel good' and as close to pop music boundaries as smooth jazz can get, perhaps a tribute to Millar's own ingenuity and success in the pop-dance genre back in the day. Jacko Peake's mellifluous sax playing and the electronically altered vocals of Dennis Charles provide instant and endless enjoyment to Fresh Air. Some exotic Latin vibes take control of Buenas and Ilhabela, while Millar graciously opens to the door to the 'chill lounge' on several tracks including Belmondo and Cool Blue. Every track is meticulously arranged and self-produced by Millar and Fresh Air is intoxicating with a definitive mood and attitude. In fact, Fresh Air is so eclectically cool, it's literally hot.

After way too long, Duncan has re-emerged with his latest release 'Fresh Air'. It's an ultra smooth collection of ten all new compositions that are built around Millar's cool playing on piano and keyboards but afforded added depth by input from an array of fine backing musicians.Take for instance the feel-good title cut that includes a nice contribution on sax from Jacko Peak and equally good work on guitar from Mark Vandergucht. In fact Peak makes significant contributions throughout and none more so than when he switches to flute for the mellifluous 'Southern Sky'.
'Belmondo' is not only where smooth jazz meets late night lounge in the most enticing of ways but also a serious contender for Smooth Jazz Therapy top tune.
