Eddie Miller plays the Vito Tenor exclusively

Eddie Miller, in the swinging '40s, was America's favorite Dixieland jazz tenor sax man. He was featured with the original Bob Crosby Bob Cats and at that time made his great record of Dream with Jo Stafford and the Pied Pipers.

Eddie Miller, today, is still making beautiful sounds on his tenor sax. He recently returned from a very successful jazz concert tour of England and is now the featured soloist with my own jazz group in New Orleans and in concerts.

"With A Little Help From My Friend" means that my man, Eddie Miller, horn and raised in New Orleans, brings you a wonderful collection of old and new favorites packed with his own jazz tradition, framed with the unique background of a modern rhythm section, featuring a swinging harpsichord and a baroque string quartet. You'll hear his beautiful tone and phrasing on Dream, New Orleans and What's New and some of his great jazz on We Two Blues, "Mission Impossible" Theme and Out Of Nowhere. My clarinet and I came along "with a little help" and had a ball.
