Biography Neal Miner
Neal Miner Trio
Since early 2024 I have been leading a trio featuring Chris Byars on tenor saxophone and Jason Tiemann on drums. This trio offers an open sound, focusing on counterpoint, rhythm and communication, performing original compositions of mine the past 30+ years. We play monthly at clubs such as Mezzrow and The Django. Our debut recording on Cellar Music will be released on September 5th of this year.
