Ehsan Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Clifton Lloyd Miller is an American jazz musician, now living in Utah, who traveled to Middle East in the late 1950s and absorbed the music of that region, especially music of Iran. In the mid 1960s his first LP, Oriental Jazz was released in limited copies, but now, it is been considered one of the early, and true examples of combining jazz with Eastern sounds. There is an online article about him on the TAKE THE "A" TRAIN blog, with videos of Lloyd performing his famous standard, Gol-e Gandom, and other footage, including one in which he plays 38 different instruments!
