Somewhere at the intersection of Norah Jones, Bille Holiday, and Blossome Dearie is Philadelphia’s Maci Miller. Whether she’s interpreting jazz standards, belting out the blues, or her performing her own compositions, Miller captivates and entertains audiences around the globe with her unique and soulful jazz vocals.

On recordings and live on stage, Maci has worked with some of the greatest in the business, including trumpeter Steve Jankowski (Nile Rodgers, Chicago), saxophonist Larry McKenna (Woody Herman), Demitrious Pappas (Smokey Robinson’s Musical Dir.), and the late, great George Mesterhazy (Shirley Horn), to name just a few. Her 2019 release, Round Midnight, was a collaboration with David O’Rourke (Les Paul, Bucky Pizzarelli). Currently, Maci is working with Philadelphia’s finest – Aaron Graves (Cassandra Wilson), and Mike Boone (Buddy Rich), on a her next album as well as live performances. Her 5th independent album to be released Spring/Summer 2023.

Maci has sung in legendary rooms such as Smalls, The Jazz Standard, Chris’s Jazz Cafe, SOUTH Jazz Kitchen, The Michener Museum, Caesar’s Palace, Las Vegas, Bal-ly’s, Harrah’s, Claridge in Atlantic City and the True Blue Jazz Festival, Rehobeth, DE.

Her travels have also taken her to one of the top jazz clubs in Asia – the Bamboo Bar in Bangkok, Thailand – where she had several artist-in-residency extended runs. Adding to her extensive musical experiences, Maci is a featured guest vocalist w/several notable orchestras, bands (Arpeggio Jazz and Webb T’s Superband) and pops concerts.

Maci’s other creative endeavors as an actress, model, and spokesperson have afforded her numerous appearances on film (The Sixth Sense), print (Modern Bride, Women’s World Magazine), and television (Law and Order), to name a few. Her charitable contributions include a lullaby entitled “Butterfly Moon”, originally composed for her daughter, which she contributed to a CD for The Mercy Center in Bangkok, which gives aid to orphans and children living with HIV.

An accomplished songwriter, Maci has released several CD’s and has had notable collaborations and licensing/publishing deals with Disney, as well as international jazz releases in Asia and an upcoming vinyl relase with EQ Music Singapore. A selection from her all-original big band album, “A Very Good Night”, was featured nationally at MAC Cosmetics counters.

Maci’s 4th album: Maci Miller, Round Midnight – a jazz vocal and guitar album with guitarist David O’Rourke – received air play world wide and rave reviews including a spotlight on WRTI as “Artist of the Month” and is still in regular rotation on LA’s biggest jazz station, KJAZZ
