Mieke Miami is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, and producer.
Inspired by the atmosphere of her surroundings and influenced by artists like Lester Young, Duke Ellington and Dorothy Ashby Mieke's music embodies a vivid picture of a polyphonic world.
After her beautifully intricate debut album "In the Old Forest" (2015), Mieke released the major, indeed pop album "Montecarlo Magic" in 2021 on the Berlin in-label Fun In The Church, which featured a cover version of "Cry Baby Cry" that became a real radio hit. Already here, a path could be seen: the trained saxophonist, who studied Jazz Saxophone at the University of the Arts in Berlin, increasingly brings together her two major concerns: songwriting and the world of jazz.
This development continues on her current album "Birdland" (Sonar Kollektiv) – we hear an album of today and tomorrow, but also somehow from the year 1976.
Everything on "Birdland" feels magical: twelve tracks shine like an endless summer. Flute tones shimmer over smooth keys, funky basslines, and bouncing percussion underpin luxurious horns, with Miami's clear vocals dancing elegantly. "Birdland" sparkles with nostalgia for past groundbreaking sounds and optimism for the future.
With her fantastic band, she has performed at a wide range of festivals, from Fusion to Jazzwerkstatt Peitz, captivating audiences every time with their infectious joy of playing.
