Peter Ruedi, writing in the Swiss magazine Weltwoche, described Dominic Miller as an outstanding and serene storyteller. With his third ECM album, "Vagabond," Miller may have presented his most poetic work to date. Accompanied by Ziv Ravitz on drums, Nicolas Fiszman on bass, and Jacob Karlzon on piano, he creates impressive, melancholic soundscapes. The four musicians, each an experienced bandleader themselves, impress with a finely tuned blend of deep grooves and subtle nuances that guide the listener through eight new compositions by Miller. Dominic Miller emphasizes: "I never wanted to record a purely guitar-based album. Through collaborations with great singers, I see myself more as an instrumental songwriter whose task it is to surround himself with the best musicians who understand the stories in the songs." With "Vagabond," he believes he has found the ideal lineup. The album was recorded in the South of France, produced by Manfred Eicher.
