I’ve known Jason Miles for over 20 years and I learn new things from him every time we talk. Jason is a keyboard player, synthesizer programmer from the earliest days of the Moog synthesizer, and a Grammy-winning producer.
He has worked with artists such as Miles, Davis, Luther Vandross, Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Sting, Chaka Chan, Suzy Boggess, David Sanborn, and many others.
In this interview, Jason talks about how he got started playing music and how that lead into his pioneering work with creative synthesizer programming, and playing on many albums. He has performed along with many major artists in places like Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Capetown South Africa Jazz Festival. He has a new record out, the proceeds of which will help support people in the music business who have limited income during the Covid pandemic. Jason also has a one-man music and storytelling show.
Listen to Jason tell the stories about how he broke into the highest levels of the record business, and how he re-invented himself through the decades. He is always learning and embracing new music and new technology. It’s a fascinating story.
