"The Season" Holiday CD from Natasha
Stay up to date about everything Natasha on Facebook
After a year-long sabbatical, San Francisco Bay Area jazz vocalist Natasha Miller will perform at Yoshi's in San Francisco on Dec 19, 2011 in celebration of her annual holiday concert. She will perform selections from her Holiday CD The Season and other winter and holiday inspired repertoire. Joining Natasha will be Paul Mehling on guitar (Hot Club of San Francisco), Tal Morris on guitar and mandolin, Sam Bevan on bass, Beth Goodfellow on drums as well as a host of other musicians and surprise performances. Natasha's concerts at the holidays are more like a variety show, she's been known to have a marching band come through the audience, have her father perform "Twas the Night Before Christmas" and invite guest artists up on stage. You never know what she'll introduce next!
Natasha Miller will take to the stage with Colin Hogan/piano, Sam Bevan/bass, Dan Foltz/drums, Rich Armstrong/trumpet and Quartet Rouge for her annual holiday concert. She will perform songs from her holiday CD "The Season" as well as new songs, and will be joined by special guests. Natasha is a regular at Yoshi's, and has performed at the Monterey Jazz Festival, Blues Alley and the Jazz Standard in NYC. She just released her 6th CD "SpinVintage" to critical acclaim.

Bay Area vocalist Natasha Miller returns to Kuumbwa for an evening of new songs and favorite classics. Featured on her new recording, Don’t Move (Poignant Records), Natasha’s repertoire includes songs written by 81 year-old songwriter Bobby Sharp and arranged by first-class West Coast pianists for a three-piece horn section and string ensemble. While Natasha’s flawless phrasing turns any performance into an intimate engagement, the expanded ensemble calls to mind the Stan Kenton Orchestra or Nelson Riddle’s full string section, making it a truly swinging affair. Joining Natasha Miller will be Josh Nelson, piano; Dan Feiszli on bass, Jeff Marrs on drums and Adam Theis on Trombone.
Josh Nelson is coming up from L.A. for this one!!!! I'll be playing a little acoustic guitar, and the rest of the band is: Dan Feiszli/Upright Bass, Jeff Marrs/drums, + Adam Theis/Trombone
