Lloyd Miller
Lloyd Miller is an American jazz musician and world music expert who is well known for his research work on Persian music and Afghan music. He can play 100 instruments in 15 jazz, ethnic and world music traditions.
His self-released LPs from the 1960s were among the first to combine Middle Eastern and Asian traditional music with American Jazz. His highly sought after records “Oriental Jazz” and “Jazz at the U of U” were recently re-issued by Egon’s Now Again Records and Vinyl Me Please.
Back in 2010, Lloyd traveled overseas to record an album for STRUT Records, with The Heliocentrics, and the LP quickly became a classic. After spending years in Iran and abroad, Doc Lloyd Miller has been laying low in Salt Lake City, furthering his academic music and religious studies and is currently collaborating with Adam Michael Terry and Ian Camp for FOUNTAINavm.
This much-anticipated LP expands upon Miller's famous Persian and Far Eastern Jazz into territories of New Age, Modern Classical, Ambient, and even hinting at Psych-World Folk. We are proud to expand Lloyd's already massive music pallet over the decades and anticipate his fans around the world to be pleased to hear familiar stylings as well as some new ideas. Limited pressing of 500 copies.

This single is from the soon-to-be-released “Lloyd Miller At the Ends of the World” album, a nine track world jazz journey.
From the liner notes:
We begin the migration from the Near - East to the influences of the Far - East with this song. “Bassmeant Blues at the Apocalypse” transitions these modes nicely as the [record’s] B side begins with a meditative introduction on flute then slowly develops into a swingy jazz tune. This was the earliest song we recorded for At the Ends of the World, acting as yet another thesis statement for Lloyd’s jazz foundation and global sensibilities. Lloyd solos beautifully on the bowed dilruba over broken percussion, following with an Eastern - style flute solo as the bass line develops and cymbals begin to swing. Lloyd’s piano eventually leads you to Ian’s bluesy, yet sophisticated, koto solo - landing you feet - down in the Far East.
Recording this track down in Lloyd’s basement was like a surreal nostalgia for some primitive future. His half - century old, live jazz posters and pictures from around the world, all boasting his name and lining the walls. World instruments piled up around us next to his self - canned food storage; I felt like we were playing live in some funky fallout, a dystopian speakeasy on the other side of time and the world - where people gathered not to secretly drink, but to indulge in a music forbidden by the pop dictators of the world. “The Apocalypse” might as well been the name of this imaginary night club. A dark and dusty hole in the ground where we worshipped and played this pestilent blues fusion.
