180g Vinyl LP
Remastered!

Released in 1988, Born 2 Be Blue was a solo album by Steve Miller. Miller performs modern reinterpretations of jazz standards including "God Bless The Child", and "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah".

The difference between jazz standards and pop music doesn't seem that great to me. Jazz musicians have always loved a great song and so have pop musicians. And both pop and jazz borrow heavily from the blues. My favorite musicians have always done this. Ella Fitzgerald made lots of pop records and Mel Torme was a swinging singer in the popular movies. Horace Silver plays the blues, Chet Baker sings cool, and you could say that The Four Freshman made the harmony that put the Beach Boys on the map. Milt Jackson and The Modern Jazz Quartet formalized the whole expression, and Ray Charles gave it soul. To me blending jazz and pop is a natural progression, and to be able to share it with such great musicians and with you is a real pleasure. - Steve Miller
