Veritus Miller: ‘Days With You Are Beautiful’
Listen now
Description
This week we celebrate the undiscovered musical talent (under 21) in the greater LA area culled from a couple of hundred submissions to KCRW’s Young Creators Project . We narrowed it down to five finalists, from whom we turn the spotlight on 19-year-old jazz pianist, percussionist, and composer Veritus Miller. Based in the Crenshaw District, Miller hails from a musical family and assembled an array of first-rate musicians to showcase some serious chops. A self-proclaimed nerd at heart, he likes to take a breather by watching anime and reading manga. Let’s check out “Days With You Are Beautiful,” an undulating, joyful composition that will make you fall in love with jazz.
