Recordings
Marcus Milius lends his skills to other groups in the studio and in the clubs.
The MilkMan & Sons
Traditional Blues And Prohibition Jazz. Mixing originals with the classics and serving an assortment of acoustic instruments including vocals, harmonica, violin, banjo, bass and drums.
Original music written for Jazz Trio with a country and folk flavor.
On this self-titled release, you will hear harmonica, guitar, and bass. Marcus Milius, Scott Kacenga, and Pete O'Connell are three Brooklyn musicians steeped in the jazz tradition and making their mark in original music. The various projects they are in are too numerous to mention here, so let's talk about the album... You hear many influences on this album, and pinning down a classification is difficult. In most cases you'll find Krasdale in the jazz section at music stores (do they even have music stores anymore?), however it is by no means a run of the mill jazz record. The all-acoustic instrumentation and soulful harmonies are as closely related to Americana as to jazz. This album was recorded in Brooklyn in two sessions. All tracks were recorded live, and any imperfections you may hear only add to the honesty of this album, and Krasdale deserves our appreciation for creating something truly original and beautiful.
Scott Kacenga - acoustic guitar (Contact Scott for booking)
Marcus Milius - chromatic harmonica
Pete O'Connel - acoustic bass
Krasdale
The Cangelosi Cards
Gypsy Jazz, Blues, and Swing featuring Vocals, harmonica, violin, guitar and bass.
LA Soul
The Marcus Milius Band has taken on many shapes and forms: from a Blues band to a Reggae band; from a six piece to a duo. It has played in Japan, England, Spain and across the USA. The album Going Downtown is the culmination of these experiences - an 11 song self propuced CD of originals that shows where the band has come from and where it is going. This CD has been a labour of love. Recorded on first takes mostly and few over dubs. Three guerrilla style recordings sessions spaced over three years. Recorded with some of Los Angeles' finest. This is what we call the LA Soul.
Marshall Zar and theMilkMan
This is a project in the works. Hear hip-hop meet blues as Marcus produces tracks for the rhymes of Lucky a new east coast MC to be reckoned with.
Raya Yarbrough
Raya is a talented jazz singer, composer, and lyricist. Marcus is featured here on chromatic harmonic solo.
NK Band
Nikhil's group is a fun live jam band , but tight in the studio. The group is lead by singer, guitarist and composer Nikhil Kohrula and features some of Marcus' diatonic harmonica playing.
I recorded harmonica on almost every track of the last NK Band album, MUSIC OF THE NEW DAY. It is available to purchase at www.nkband.com! As well, you can preview the new album on iTunes.
