Steve Million
In 1988, Steve Million was a semifinalist in the internationally renowned Thelonious Monk Piano Competition; that same year, the Missouri native moved to Chicago and never looked back. The music of Monk continued to play an important role in his career: in the 90s he formed a two-keyboard band called Monk’s Dream with Michael Kocour and Robert Shy, and in the 2000s co-created the humor-filled band Thelonious Moog.
Million has recorded three CDs for Palmetto Records: Million to One (1995), Thanks A Million (1997), and Truth Is (1999) featuring such artists as trumpet great Randy Brecker, sax legends Chris Potter and Dick Oatts, and legendary bassist Michael Moore. He has also released a trio album, Poetic Necessities (BluJazz, 2002), and a solo piano album, Remembering The Way Home (Origin, 2008). In 2021 he released two CDs: JazzWords featuring Sarah Marie Young (self released) featuring his song writing with lyrics and on Origin records What I Meant to Say featuring Steve Cardenas on guitar.
Steve co-leads the BakerzMillion sextet with Andy Baker that has become a popular post bop band featuring all original music. BakerzMillion has also just released a CD on Delmark Records entitled BakerzMillion Live in Racine.
