Getting to Know You (album)

The album is named after the popular song by Oscar Hammerstein II and Richard Rodgers, and consists of several standards and originals by Miller and Goods.

Ken Dryden of Allmusic wrote "Mulgrew Miller is in top form for these 1995 sessions as he covers a wide range of compositions.

With his regular trio on hand, including bassist Richie Goods and drummer Karriem Riggins, plus the addition of percussionist Steve Kroon and conga player Big Black, this marked the pianist's final recording for the Novus label.

Standards include a breezy waltz treatment of "Getting to Know You" (from The King and I) and a driving rendition of "If I Should Lose You."

The Beatles' "Fool on the Hill" takes flight in Miller's hands, as he adds a sprightly touch without sounding like a cocktail pianist.
