From humble beginnings playing Chicago and Blood Sweat and Tears with high school buddies in Grosse Pointe, Michigan, gifted trombonist John Miller worked hard to develop his skills. While at Wayne State University, his rare talent and versatility were recognized and rewarded. He was selected to tour China, and later performed in other international venues including Germany and Japan.

Joining the Dittilies with his brother Don on trumpet, the core was formed of a horn section of awesome power and excitement that must be experienced to be understood. The years have not muted that power, but refined and focused it. From sweet lyrical tones to hard-hitting improvisations, the Dittilie horns knock audience's socks off with a sound that is rarely heard, never equalled.

Recently, John has been asked to showcase his abilities as a lead vocalist, bringing into the venerable Dittilie set list some newer and fresher material. His uncanny vocal impression of Louis Armstrong remains a highlight of the show.

John is also the leader and front-man of our popular alter-ego group: Dittilies Too.
