Composer, pianist, producer Miguel Romero was born in Cuba. Miguel's
multicultural ensemble is based in Atlanta, where they perform
Miguel's original compositions, "Cuban Jazz Funk" and Romero's
earlier cd "Island Breeze" written, arranged and produced by Romero.
Romero studied at the famed Harlem Jazz Mobile with such greats as
Max Roach, Sonny Redd and Freddie Waites. Romero went on to
study at Lehman College in the Bronx and graduated with a B.S. degree
in Music Composition. He also studied the Schillinger System of
Musical Composition with Bob Bianco. He studied big band arranging
and film scoring with Don Sebesky.
Miguel performed at the 2001 Montreux Jazz Festival in Montreux
Switzerland. Romero headlined at the 2002 Colorado Springs Jazz
Festival where he performed for over 20,000 people. "Miguel and
his band had the Cuban Jazz Funk groove going on and at the end of
the show everyone stood up and danced" - so says Rob Isacoff, a
producer from Colorado Springs Jazz Festival.
Romero was a panelist at the 2002 International Jazz Educators
Conference. Romero received a Composer in Residence grant from the
Arthur Blank Foundation and the Composers Forum for his work at the
James T. Anderson Boys and Girls Club. Miguel is a 2002 Hambidge
Residency Grant recipient. Romero is a member of Composers Forum and
Chamber Music America an is on the touring roster of the Georgia
Council for the Arts.
Romeros compositions have been compared to everything from a
fine Cuban cigar that is spicy and lingers in the air to a Latin
Medeski Martin and Wood. "Hear the solid Cuban style piano of Romero
blending with an array of grooves from straight-ahead jazz to deep
funk" - Performer Magazine
"Romero's percussive style, characteristic of many Latin American
piano players, places him in the front ranks of pianists along side
the most revered masters" - Chucho Valdes and Danilo Perez" Latin
Style Magazine
Miguel Romero has written and produced for dance diva Jocelyn
Brown. He wrote and produced Michelle Weeks, dance single "Wake it
Up" which climbed to # 3 on the Billboard Hot Dance Breakout Chart.
Romero and his first CD Island Breeze were voted one of the top 15
Independent and Budding Artists of 1999 by Fred Scott. Both "Island
Breeze" and"Cuban Jazz Funk" feature all original compositions by
Romero. "Romero is a heavyweight by any musical standard" Atlanta
Constitution "Cuban Jazz Funk" was voted CD of the week by the Boston
Herald and one of the years top 10 CDs by JazzUSA
