Ross Miller has created two upbeat tracks which intertwine top quality tune playing with an exciting rhythm section. The first offering, The Dedication Jigs, was released last month on February 23 and can be heard below in the YouTube video. The second will be available on all digital streaming platforms from midnight (UK) on March 29, 2024.
The fresh compositions are traditional in essence but have glimpses of modernity and flair throughout to keep the listener engaged. The new music showcases a new direction for Ross with a heavily pop-influenced sound.
Ross said: “The opening of The Restalrig Reels was composed whilst on tour in America last year. The second tune is a reworking of a competition-style tune composed by one of today’s foremost pipers, Alasdair Henderson. Finally, the last tune in this set is a Cape Breton fiddle classic with a strong helping of bagpipe goodness. The tunes in The Dedication Jigs are both dedicated to people or places. The first was composed to mark my great friend and piper Calum Watson’s wedding and the second for a special Christmas gift.”
The tunes in The Dedication Jigs set are named Newly Wed At Newhall and Ross Miller Murray & Jacqui Ross of Torri Dhu and are both composed by Ross Miller. The tunes in The Restalrig Reels set are The Candlewood Suites Reel by Ross Miller, Restalrig Road by Alasdair Henderson and Molly Rankin’s by John Morris Rankin.
