"Griffith's balladry bows in the direction of the romantic baritones of the '40s and '50s" - JazzTimes  

"His oblique Betty Caterish approach shows off his dark phrasing and penchant for melody." - The Boston Herald  

"The vocalist has a wail that's able to shake a room, a visceral blues sensibility, and gregarious sense of humor." - Village Voice 

Miles Griffith's non-traditional use of the voice as a percussive instrument, combined with an uncanny harmonic sense has made him a prime choice for many musicians. In just a few short years, Miles Griffith's fearless approach to music has helped him to emerge as a serious contender on the modern jazz scene. Adept in any context, his organic style is adventurous, whimsical, fiery, heart-felt and always on the cutting edge. Griffith seamlessly weaves together a potpourri of styles illuminating the "down home" fun missing in much of jazz' current vocal genre.  

In 1994, he played the lead role of "Jesse" in Wynton Marsalis', celebrated Blood On The Fields, the specially commissioned jazz oratorio, which premiered at Lincoln Centers' Alice Tully Hall.  Griffith also participated on the recording, which was released on Sony Music in mid 1997 to end Marsalis' Pulitzer Award and Grammy winning world tour.

His impressive resume also includes stints with Max Roach, Reggie Workman, Carl Allen, Bill Lee, T.S. Monk, Barry Harris, Tommy Campbell, Wilber Morris, Burhan Ocal, Jamaaladeen Tacuma, Kirk Nurock, Craig Harris, poet Sekou Sundiata, Michael Jefry Stevens and Miles Griffith/Tony Pancella Quintet, Toshiko Akioshi, Heidi Martin, Tony Reedus, Matjaz Mikuletic, and many more. 

Griffith has been a jazz vocal educator for 24 years, having a Masters of Jazz Vocal Performance Degree from Queens College, Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Long Island University and a private instructor. Miles Griffith and Tony Pancella Trio have been playing and touring Europe for over 12 years. With three CD's under their belt, "I Found You,"  "Smile Again" and newly released "The Struggle Never Dies" they're planning to record their fourth CD in 2011.
